This is Mandy's human dad, updating Mandy's blog, just in case anyone is still checking it. I'm devastated and so sorry to have to report that after 15 delightful years with us, Mandy has passed on, at the estimated age of 17.5 years. In the last few days, she started acting strangely, twisting her body and moving in unusual ways. We weren't sure if she'd had a stroke, or was acting strangely because of pain from a medical condition. Her regular vet wasn't answering the phone, so we took her to CVSG Veterinary Hospital. They did a complete workup on her, and reported that she had a serious medical problem that was making her extremely uncomfortable, and her several other serious long-term problems would prevent them from doing any surgery to make her any better. We are so sad that she is gone, but we are taking some comfort in knowing that she is "over the rainbow bridge," and no longer in any pain. This picture is from just a couple of days ago, with Mandy trying to
relax on the couch with us, after I gave her some pain medication to
help relieve whatever she was experiencing. I'll leave this blog up in Mandy's memory for a while.
