Last Saturday 07/03/09 we had to put our very Courageous hound to sleep we nicked named her the Battle Axethis was due to over coming Bone Cancer (Dec07) we got the lump before it attached it self to the bone,
June 08 she got Pnemonia this is where we learn`t that wolfhounds can get this for no reason
Dec 08 ,she had a swollen lymph node on her hind leg which was of diagnosed as Lymphoma we started the chemo as it was only 1 lymph she was responding really well so well it was reduced to every 2 weeks. for some unknown reason ast wed she started to suffer pain over her left hip even with strong painkillers she was getting worse .
So Saturday having rang the vet to come to our Horse in the evening We dosed her up on pain killers and took her to the beach (attached Photo) fed her Steak and choco ice cream .
She is sorely missed by us and the friends who knew her. she touched so many hearts
She has taugth us so much, one thing is never Give Up
Rudyard Kipling’s Poem, Four Feet
I have done mostly what men do
And pushed it out of my mind
But I can’t forget, if I wanted to
Four- Feet trotting behind.
Day after day, the whole day through-
Wherever my road inclined-
Four – Feet said, “I am coming with you! “
And trotted along behind.
Now I must go by some other round-
Which I shall never find –
Somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of Four – Feet trotting behind
