kirk came in a few months ago. his elderly owners had gone into care. he hadn't received the best care for that last little bit, they were too old and frail to care for him really well.
kirk was also a very great dog...kind hearted, gentle and very loving. he has been battling chronic diarrhea since he came in..lots of meds, vet checks, diet changes and nothing worked for him.
jamie took him home as a foster a few weeks ago depite his terrible diarrhea and i have to say i was greatly impressed that she and her husband were willing to take kirk on considering the mess his bowels were in....good people, good and kind hearts.
anyway..they managed it while keeping up with his vet care trying to find an answer to help him. last week kirk started taking a serious downward turn and we booked him in for xrays today. the vets found a very large abdomenol mass.
kirk was no longer feeling well, in fact he was feeling pretty terrible. when jamie received the news, she did what i would have done too..she went and held her beloved boy in her arms as he passed peacefully away.
rest in peace kirk..you were greatly loved and i am so glad you found a great home at the end.
hugs to your mom and dad.
Weird for some reason my post last night did not makeit on the blog..I just wanted to express my condolences to jamie & hubby on the loss of Captain Kirk, I was so happy when I heard he was going to live with them...so sad it was so close to his passing. Take Care
