Pack of Two
Fay Ray
During my hiatus from blogging, I was forced to put my sweet chocolate lab, Fay Ray, down in December. As you know, she had suffered from two canine strokes and had recovered from both. In the end, her old hips just wouldn’t hold her up and she had lost control from her backend altogether. Her arthritis was so painful she didn’t enjoy getting pets on the neck or moving around much. She failed to greet me when I came home and just wanted to be still. That is no life for a Lab! When you have a younger dog side by side, the contrast between the two was evident. Bailey remained active and was missing out on park visits and other outings as a result of Fay’s immobility. We miss her so much but are finally considering adding a new companion for daytime company. We are in no rush enjoying our smaller “pack of two” and will wait it out for the right one! Stay tuned.
