Lounge vibes, anyone? We lost Solly.
My post, here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7151782&mesg_id=7151782

Rescue de la flvegan took in two 4 week old pups. Brothers, but you'd not have guessed it.

Abandoned to die, Solly and Bumble came to my home.

Solly, half the size of his brother:





Solly has since passed. Rest easy, little man. But that's rescue. Funny how shit rips your heart out.

This is Bumble, Solly's brother:





We're still hoping we can save this one.

Any other vibes you can spare would be cool. Thanks.

1. My dear flvegan...
Well, at least he passed while being loved, and in a safe, warm and loving place...

Safe passage, little Solly....:cry:

And lots of great healthy vibes to his brother Bumble...

He is adorable...

3. Thanks, Peggy. I'm trying really really hard
to accept the "he had a couple great days, love and a name" but it ain't easy.

This biz sucks.

25. yes, it sucks, and bless you for doing it anyway
Safe passage to Solly, I hope he's on his way to reincarnation as someone's beloved, pampered companion, or whatever he wants to be.

And Bumble looks like he's feeling pretty perky. I'll be sending vibes his way.

Thank you, flvegan. :hug:

2. Solly & Bumble. I like. Mr B's looking pretty good, though; I think
he'll be OK.

You know I once had a four-day-old beagle pup, stolen from the lab at Yale Hospital? I was able to give him four more days, bringing him to work, bottle-feeding, etc, but that was all.

I named him Rescue.

May Solly's energy give strength to Bumble. At least the poor pup was in good hands when he died.

The very best life to Mr. Bumbles.

That's an awesome thing you're doing. The little guy was probably underdeveloped inside as well, especially respiratory tract. Couldn't be helped.

Fina a sympathetic vet ; he might need some attention.

13. That's kinda the worst part
We took them in because the "owner" finally started to worry about them and took them to a vet. A vet that suggested the owner turn them over, knowing we'd take them in.

The owner could have done something beforehand, but chose not to (or didn't know any better). To me, it's pretty obvious that Solly wasn't doing well, yet the owner chose to not seek a remedy.

May you run and play free and whole at the Rainbow Bridge as you wait for those kind ones who gave you love and care in this imperfect world. :cry:

Try to forgive those who were cruel to you; and remember those who loved you with all their hearts.

29. I lost Jigsy, a yellow lab mix, many years ago
She wandered into our lives right after my mother died, looking as if she'd been without food for quite a while. We fed her and gave her a warm bed and some love that she was obviously in need of. She seemed happy and stronger, but on the second or third day she began to waste, succumbing over the next two days to what was likely Parvo. It was heartbreaking and horrible, but I felt that we gave her what she needed most: someone to comfort her while she died. (Sometimes I wondered if my mother had sent us Jigsy because she knew we (I) needed someone to comfort at the end since I had been unable to do so for her.)

You did a wonderful thing for Solly. You cared for her at the end. I'm very sorry for your loss, and I'm sending good vibes for Bumble. :hug:

I know how hard it is coping with the loss of a loved one. I still miss my kitty, Chess, after she passed away a couple of months ago after an illness. It's so hard coming home to an empty place.

We rescued a litter of kittens that had been dumped by the side of the road about 12 years ago. All died but one. We named him "Darwin" and he is still ruling our house to this day.

Rescue is hard, but rewarding work. Take care.
