Cassandra, I am so, so sorry that Kisa didn't pull through. I know you are disappointed and hurting right now. It is a good thing that she is not in anymore pain. You tried SO hard to save that little one. Bless you for taking the time to do all you could for her.
I watched Animal Cops on Animal Planet last night and this poor dog in NYC came in and his body temp. was 84 degrees; the vet said he didn't think an animal could live with that low of a temp-he'd certainly never seen it. He had a horrible skin infection and a bacterial infection and he was starving; he looked HORRIBLE. His owner never took him to the vet and wasn't feeding him. Luckily, someone called, and the animal control police confiscated the dog. The vet was able to save him. It was a miracle and the dog is beautiful now. He's a Cano Corso (sp?) from South America. I thought of you. I thought of how much you were doing for Kisa and it was the complete opposite of how this owner neglected his dog. People who love their animals like you do should be given the medal of honor for all they do for their pets. Their furbabies who are unable to help themselves. They can't go to the store and buy food for themselves. They can't visit a doctor by themselves. But the loving people here on this site and all over the world who care for their animals are one of the things that makes the world bearable for me. I hope every single one of them is blessed in a very special way. I know your heart is broken. I pray that it heals quickly and that you are able to let the good memories of Kisa comfort you while you heal. She probably slept on your pillow as her way of saying good-bye and that she loves you and she's going to be ok on the other side. If you need anything, or just to vent, please post or you can email me off list. Thinking of you and Kisa... :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
