I Unknowingly Killed My Dog

Glenn Varney Blog 0 0

Dogs are such special animals. For many of us, they are more than just pets—they are family. I used to have a dog named Nicki, and she was an integral part of my life and family. Recently, I made the most difficult decision a dog parent has to make. Following a short illness, I had to put Niki down. This illness, however, could have been prevented if it weren’t for my own neglect and actions. I hope you will read this short tale of pain and learn from my experience.

I could have prevented my dog, Nicki, from dying if I had just grasped the situation.  I should have recognized what I was doing was actually making her sick. As I look back, there were plenty of signs, symptoms, and early indications that I was in the process of causing her physical decline. For example, she had bad breath, started to lose weight, would get infections, and started to dislike the food I would put in front of her. I was on a continuous hunt for food that she would eat, like treats, canned, and dry dog food.  I discovered, too late, that she had a digestive and nutritional problem. If I had noted the symptoms and done some research, which I failed to do, I would have recognized what her diet was doing to her health and she would still be alive.

Please do not make the same mistakes I made. The learning from this has made me aware that I need to FULLY Grasp The Situation in all aspects of my life.
