IN MEMORY OF HILDA

This week has been a hard week so far. Bubba escaping really is causing some trouble. The Humane Society in our area is not at all easy to deal with and would much rather see a dog put down than saved. They don’t gear themselves towards rescue and I don’t think it will be anytime in the future when they do. The rules that apply to one rescue group do not apply to another. An exception for people trying to do the right thing is not part of what they know or understand. There is a fight ahead and soon I will be ready, just not today.

I just returned from the vet. Sometime during the afternoon Hilda had a seizure. When I got home I found her lying on the floor not responding to anything. I rushed her to the vet but there was brain damage and nothing could have been done. Hilda lost her battle today. I got to spend time with this beautiful creature one last time before she went up to that big dog yard. I am sure she is running (with no circles), barking and thinking she is the top dog. Just as she did here. Of course having Damon and Shadow to protect her helped. No one got near her without their permission. In fact she caused a few ruffled coats when the Shadow and Damon disagreed on who or what Hilda should be doing.

Hilda will be missed and always be loved. She was only on this earth for a short time but what she taught all of us was huge. She taught us to accept every dog for whom they are and that every dog can overcome huge obstacles. No problem was ever too big for this tiny little girl, she figured out a way around it. Even when she could only go in circles, she would start at one end of the house and go until she got where she wanted to be. It may have been a roundabout way but she got there.

HILDA WE LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL BE MISSED. PLEASE GIVE SIMBA 3 PAWS UP FROM US.
