Wow, this sure has been a tough Winter! It has taken over 3 days for me to be able to post our most recent loss.
Our sweet, handsome, Cole, arrived at PiP just one month ago and was immediately loved by all, people and pets alike. His owner had passed away at home, leaving behind 7 dogs discovered alone with him 2 days later. All except 2 had since been rescued and carefully rehomed by a loving niece.
The last 2, Cole, 17 (blind and deaf), and his older sister, Prudence, were scheduled to arrive at Paws in Paradise subsequent to a vet visit arranged by their rescuer. Sadly, at that visit, it was decided to euthanize Prudence. Cole was found to have symptoms of kidney and/or pancreatic disease.
Shortly after arriving at PiP, the lovely Cole stopped eating and began showing other signs of severe illness. Another vet visit, change of diet, medication and visits from his rescuer, did not help him. Cole was euthanized this past Sunday. He passed away surrounded by love . . .
in our presence and the arms of the special niece who had worked so hard to save his life.
