Spike R.I.P. |
Tuesday |
I sent e-mail to a shelter manager this morning and offered to take Spike back if he was still alive. I said that based on our experience with him, we wanted the chance to nurse him back to health. I said we wouldn’t need any supplies and would return him to the shelter one way or the other, either healthy or when we knew his time was up.
The manager called me around 10:45am to tell me they euthanized Spike this morning. They had taken him to see a couple of local vets, and one of them “suspected there might be something more than pneumonia going on.”
Spike was a fighter, and he hung in there for more than four days after animal control came to take him away. It will take us a while to get over this.
