A week to the day of my mom passing we had to put down one of our 13 year old Jack Russel's - Bonnie. She hadn't been well for about a year -what started as vertigo, the vet believes she had a brain tumor and was living in pain. Poor little 'Bonnie girl'...she was a sweet dog. I'll never forget how motherly she was to Cameron & Cooper when they were born. It always made me feel sad we never let her have a litter - she would have been a great mom. But, the tumor was causing pain and pain can make you angry...
...see. This is how she walked around most often the past several months. She looked like a predator out stalking it's prey. Her prey being Clyde - her brother. They would get into some serious brawls. I'm just very thankful none of the kids (or us for that matter) ever got in the middle of this. It was this behavior that made us realize how miserable she was. Like grandma Patti - she is no longer in pain. So,
Rest in Peace Bonnie - I'm sure Grandma is hanging out with her up in heaven! Bonnie 8/3/1997 - 8/11/2010
