Our Libby succumbed to a mysterious illness on September 10, 2011. We were at home.
| From Libby-Trixie |
While away in Madison,WI for another Frustrated Maestro event at FMCA International Libby got sick and we sought a vet. All tests were passed. We traveled on to a Corp of Engineer Campground outside of Iowa City, IA. Again we had to find a vet and were most pleased with a 24 hour emergency clinic, Bright Eyes and Bushy Tails. http://www.bebt.com/
Again, many test showed nothing. Two days later, in Amana, IA we noticed the result of internal bleeding. Aug. 22 we headed for TN arriving in our driveway on Aug. 23.
Little by little Libby lost ground as our vet tried with us to look for causes and find treatments. We all agreed that this 11 year old greyhound would not be subjected to an exploratory.
Libby was a TDI dog, a therapy dog. http://www.therapydogs.com/
She loved this work and got just goofy when we got our red shirts out to get ready. She wore her therapy dog vest with pride. She did not get to go with us on a last visits. Daisy upheld the therapy dog reputation.
We had Libby 7 years after getting her from foster mom Lynnae. Lynnae always said that Libby was the one that got away. Her innocent eyes and love of life lifted many spirits.
Libby lost her companion Trixie just nine months prior. Finding pictures of just Libby was impossible.
