  • Melinda posted an update 2 years, 11 months ago

    I lost my boy Otto two weeks ago to kidney failure, and bleeding in his abdomen. It\’s been hard wrapping my head around why my boy is gone. He seemed happy and healthy one week, and the next week he was dying. He was two and a half months shy of his 13 birthday. I guess, at least my Otto and my girl Ava are together again. She is the black German Shepherd, I lost two years ago. I still have her daughter Addie. She will be 10 in October already. I feel like I\’m slowly losing my family. My youngest is an almost 8 siberian husky named Brinley. He has issues with his thyroid. I put in for a candle for Otto. 🥺💞🐾
    • Melinda, I am so sorry. It’s shocking to have a rapid decline in health – it doesn’t give us time to prepare ourselves, not that anticipating is easy, but at least we know something is coming. So Otto and Ava knew each other? And Ava was Addie’s mother. You truly were a Family and yes, this is very difficult, losing two of them now. Again, I am so sorry. Even though we know, in our heads, that one day we will have to say goodbye, in our hearts and souls, we are broken 💔 Please light a candle for Ava, too. We’d love to see her, and here more about Ava and Otto, and we’d love to share happy times with Addie. We’re here for you Melinda, so stay in touch with us. {{BIG HUGS}} Toni
      • Yes, Ava was Addie’s mom. She is pictured with me in the profile pic. I lit a candle for her about a year ago, under Ava Nika. Otto is also Addie’s dad. They had her and her sister Mira, that lives with my parents, accidentally, shortly after we rescued Ava. We kept them. This is a good family pic that I took. Only one of two. Otto is on the couch and Addie, is to the right of Ava
        • I guess I have to post the pic separate.
          • Melinda, I am so, so sorry for your loss 💔 It is never easy to say goodbye. Sending you comforting hugs and wishing you peace at this very sad time 💔
