A Final Goodbye with Zorro

A final goodbye in the consolation room

After 8 days of not eating and 5 days of medical tests and treatment, I made the decision not to continue medical intervention, based on consultation with multiple medical advisors.

Zorro, a 12-year-old male Chihuahua, had an enlarged kidney, gallbladder, liver and pancreas with multiple cysts attached. The doctors said the combination of his age, size and multiple organs involved indicated that further treatment would be too intrusive and not likely to make a difference anyway.

Goodbye dear fur friend.

    You feel so helpless in a need to ease their pain,…a sadness that grabs you and pulls at the heartstrings, …, ….and I’m completely with Will Rogers, ..it wouldn’t feel right, without our best ever furry friends, …It’s been 12years since we said goodbye, to our girl, …A Welsh Border Collie, …and she’s missed, so sorely missed still…hugs to you and your loved ones, …and to the li’l one, …Zorro, …✨♥️✨

      Thank you, Penn. Yes, Zorro will remain my BFFF (best fur friend forever) and will be consoled by spending his last breath with him. And I’m sure your Welsh Border Collie was/is a smart and beautiful girl in your life.
