    @kittykat Hello Katy. How are you doing now? Will you tell us about your pets?

    • I had a J.R./dachshund mix female name Lucy. She was my #1 lil girl. She lived to chase squirrels and just run her little legs off. I was living with my (now deceased) boyfriend and his family, and his mom set out rat poison behind the stove and she ate some and a few days later she passed at the vet’s.
        • Oh, Katy…You have been through so much and I am very sorry. Thank you for sharing your story about how dangerous household items can be to pets. Anti-Freeze is dangerous, possibly deadly, to pets, too. Your story may save other pets and I appreciate your information. When did this happen? How old was Lucy? So, how are you holding up, Katy? How can we help support you?
            • Lucy passed May of 2015. And the worst thing about it, the mother never told me about it until AFTER Lucy wasn’t feeling good. First day, Lucy wasn’t eating or drinking alot. Second day, she could barely jump off the bed and walk. Third day, she couldn’t jump off the bed, and I put her in her lil stroller and pushed her to the vet, they gave her a potassium shot, kept her over night, and she passed over night. I felt bad cause I wasn’t there during her last moments. But I was hoping the shot would have helped and I would take her home. The good thing is that I got a sympathy card from the vet. Which was nice.
                • Oh yuck, Katy. I really understand because that’s a similar story about my wonderful dog, Prince. I always think I should have stayed in the clinic with him overnight – the night he died. But you know what? Even some humans decide to die alone. It sounds like you were 100% there for Lucy, and I suspect she knew it. Don’t feel bad – you WERE there for, and with her. It’s clear she knew great love from you. Tell me, how are you doing now? Toni
                    • I’m doing okay. I have another J.R name Bella who I’ve had for about 2 years. She’ll be 9 years old on 4/20.
