BURIAL SITE #3
He was
discovered lying in a snow bank, he had been searching in the trash for something to eat when he
collapsed. Someone saw him and they called a friend of AniMeals. She came and picked him up, put
him in the back seat of her car and turned on the heat to warm him up.
Blind,
oldand terribly emaciated, she
brought Blue to AniMeals and we immediately took him to the vet. He was still as the snow and cold
to the touch. The vet gave him fluids and before long he was released to Karyn's
care.
She took him home and cared for
him there. He would pace in the night, unable to sleep. He just couldn't get comfortable. She
brought him back and forth to work and he won over everyone that met him. He lay under her
desk, enjoying being warm and having food. Still, he was immeasurably skinny and couldn't put
on any weight. He continued to pace, he would lie down next to Karyn but never
rest.
She
took him to the vet and there she found out he had kidney disease. "I can smell it on his
breath," the vet said. He was suffering terribly, that's when Karyn realized Blue was too old
and too far gone; they had gotten there too late. The kindest thing that we could do for old
Blue was to let him go. We loved him dearly, but now we hope that he is in a place where he
can find some rest.
