Hi Everyone -
Judy is not up for hearing form anyone right now, so please do not write to
her, anything you might want to say can be sent to me if you would like or wait
till I give the all clear... But I wanted/needed to let you all know that
she/we lost Triple last night to a raging infection that he had been being
treated for, for the past week in hospital for the most part. He had two
surgeries since last Saturday with the surgery yesterday lasting 3 hours which
he did rally from but by 11:00 last night he just could no longer hold
on. Judy was able to be with him to say good bye which is comforting,
however the shock of the loss is still very raw.
Triple would have been 9 on his next birthday, December 10, 2005 and until this
happened he was very healthy. I had just had him here for a week a couple
of weeks ago and I am so glad I had this time with him... I am also
thinking of doing a fundraiser to help Judy defray some of the veterinary
expenses. I will send email out about that once I recover from this to
some degree. I am personally in a great deal of pain and shock over this, as
even though Triple was Judy's dog I spent a lot of time with him and he is a
very important link to my breeding program, being TRiX's sire, which makes him
the grand sire of Sunny, Willow, and Maddie here, and of course sire and grand
sire to many of your dogs...

Sadly,
Gina
