Cookie 16-005-DA |
Cookie came into our lives in February 2016 and was a really important addition to our family. She was approximately 13 years old at that time. Very well-behaved and super affectionate. When she first came into our lives she loved to go for walks not long walks but shorter walks through the neighbourhood. She loved visiting all the dogs that lived near us and was friends with everyone around. Except rabbits and squirrels for some reason she not only wanted to chase them she actually howled at them. People would open their doors to make sure someone wasn't beating a dog as she sounded as though she was in pain. The neighbours did get used to it after awhile.
As time went on the walks got shorter until finally just going to the door and out on to the porch was all she could manage. She would do this every time if Jim or I went out or if Hailey came over. She was our dog from the get go and we loved her as much as she loved us.
It did finally come to the point though that with the Cushings disease we had to let her go. Our happy baby was in pain and that just wasn't fair to her. On November 23rd, 2016, we had to make the very sad decision to let her go. Thank you so much to Dr Chapelle at the vets for being so understanding and helping us through this time. Even though she was a senior dog and not well when she came to us she gave us a lifetime of pleasure in the short time she had left and we are so glad we got to know her and love her.
Love,
- Her loving Permanent care foster mom, Judy!
She is a very lovable sweetheart! She returned to NASAP February 2016 very ill with a pancreatic flare up and extreme diarrhea. She has been an amazing addition to the NASAP family. She is well loved by adults and kids; and gets along great with other dogs. She is quiet and calm in the house. Even with her age she is still active and playful. She loves walks, laying next to her people, and watching out the window of the house or the car! She travels great in the car and loves scratches and belly rubs. During Cookie's time with us she has been monitored for her thyroid condition and pancreas. At the beginning of August cookie had a bad case of diarrhea and we found that she had developed Cushing’s disease. She is being monitored and medicated to manage the condition.
