We love our dogs and they become part of our family and day to day life. All of them are special to us. We just laid to rest one of our great animals Dezzi (Princess Desdemona) we will surely miss her. She was a midsized black lab with a big square head she was kind of the runt in the litter, but perfect perportion and a thick otter tail. She was a sweetheart, she did have medical problems her whole life though. When we first got her home she had her first shots and soon after we took her in for her second ones. She still got a touch of parvo and we thought we were gonna lose her then. After that she never had a real heat cycle at all just a couple of light ones her whole life. She loved to run with Brian and swim in the pool she had a lot of good years she wanted to go where ever we went. She had a cat friend Shadow that just loved her from the first time they met, they would sleep together and the cat would always rub up against her it was so cool. Then Dezzi started acting wierd all hyped up so we just thought she was being a hyper dog.
Then one day Brian took her up on the mountain and she just went delirius and couldn't walk and come to find out she had diabetis, WHAT. So for a year and a half we have given her isulin and watched her diet and exersized her and she did pretty good but she did go blind that was very sad but she took it in stride and just kept being a dog. Toward the end she wouldn't eat or drink and the insulin wasn't working she lost all her weight and energy, it was tough to watch.
Dr. Lafferty was so kind to us and Dezzi right to the end she really cares. Anyway I loved that dog and know her dog soul is free now and she is sleeping next to Lady dog. I thank the Lord for giving us such a friend. If you don't like dogs I don't trust you. Good bye dear Dezzi.
