Fixing Finn

We rescued Finn in July 2022. Before us he endured abuse including a broken leg. It was not fixed.

We said goodbye to Finn today. Our hearts are broken but it was time. He is no longer suffering and the vet was surprised he lasted as long as he. He estimated that when we got Finn his kidneys were probably only functioning at around 10-15%. He made it 10 months. Way longer than any of us thought he would. We are so happy his last days were happy ones. He will be buried on our farm in the beautiful bottom shown in the last 2 photos. It was his favorite place. Run free Finn. Until we meet again.

We’re taking Finn to the vet today to discuss possible end of life decisions. He has been very lethargic for several days now and threw up and had diarrhea all night last night. What little he is eating is not staying in and his weight has dwindled to where he is almost skin and bones. As much as we want to keep him with us, it would be selfish to make him suffer. We’re heartbroken. Even though we knew this day was coming we were secretly hoping he was going to beat the odds. 😞

Farm days are the best days!

Finn is still getting along well. After that last bout of low energy, most days you wouldn’t even realize he is sick. There are subtle signs like the fact that his nose is always hot and dry and he has times when he cant control his bladder, but most days he wrestles and fetches and plays like a normal young German Shepherd. Here’s a sample of our daily life😂

We get good days and bad days now. Finn’s energy levels are way lower than they have been. He starts out pretty normal when he wakes up and wants to run and play like normal but by mid morning his body tells him to slow down and he spends most of the rest of the day sleeping. He is still eating and drinking although not as much as he did and he keeps a fever most of the time. He’s losing weight but overall does not appear to be in pain. Here he is snuggled up on the couch with one of his sisters.
