This is what Bug has just informed me. She has lost her pink princess poodle (won out of a crane machine) and we are having a horrible time of it. She won't take any toy to show and tell at preschool because Kasey(aka PPP) was her best friend. Now she has just walked up to me with huge crocodile tears on her face and tells me with the bottom lip quivering.
"I just can't say goodbye to Kasey. It's too hard on my heart."
Let's just say the rest of the family has actually spent the last two weeks trying to win a look alike from the crane game at our local favorite restaurant. I finally called the joint today and talked to one of the ladies there and explained the situation. After saying that was the saddest thing they ever heard I will be getting Kasey the PPP's twin. That should cinch me in for mommy of the year. It's amazing what you will do for happiness of your child. I have been thinking for the last month, since Kasey the PPP has been missing that she will forget about it. NOPE! THEY NEVER FORGET!!!! Just a note for all you parents and future parents. buy duplicates...especially if it seems like a favorite. Just in case ;)
On a side note...I need opinions...Dementia, my massively diseased Westie has another ear infection. She is in kidney failure...early stages. She has major allergies...When she was younger she was on steroids and antihistamines for the skin allergy. Now the steroids have given her the kidney failure. The kidney failure gives her massive eye boogers, which means that a week later she will get an ear infection, and a week after that she gets a urinary tract infection. I have noticed this trend and have stopped the UTI on the last occasion which was on October 10. Now she has been off the antibiotics for 10 days and has developed another ear infection. I don't have any problems drugging her at all. I am in this dog for the long haul. She is one of my babies. My question is...is it getting time to put her down. We are only going 10 days between ear infections even with the antibiotics. I am talking ear infections with all of the nasty goop and she walks with her head sideways and she can't even shake her head without crying in pain. in a 21 day cycle she has about 12 good days where she doesn't seem to be in pain. I feel really guilty about even thinking of putting her down. Mostly because I would be getting another dog soon after as not to depress our other dog at the loss of her friend. What should I do ?

I feel your pain with the lovey. Your mom bought Riley a bunny when she was born and she couldn't remember where she bought it. BoBo, as Riley has named her is NEVER allowed to leave the car when we are out and usually we keep her at home for the fear that we will lose her. I desperately need a duplicate and I have searched online and in every store I would think your mom would shop. No luck. BoBo must be one of a kind. It's scary to think BoBo could be lost or even worse fall apart from being washed so frequently. Thankfully Gracie has clung to a blanket my friend knitted and will be making her a duplicate. I couldn't tell you what to do about your dog. I just think, would I want to live in misery? I might put her down to ease the pain for her and your family. Is that cold? Maybe in some people's eyes. I would just do what you feel is best. You know her better than anyone and I'm positive you will make the best decision. You're a wonderful Mommy! Love ya!
