Adopting a dog - Who rescues whom?

 

boo

 

 

                           We received Aboo into our home in the summer of 2003, after she

                           had been rescued by Country Kennels almost 2 years prior

                           wandering the streets of Kansas City. Little did we know our

                           high energy Akita would become the matriarch in our home

                           second only to me. She has been a blessing and a guardian

                           to our children. If not for Country Kennels she would surely

                           have been put down.

 

                           In late summer 2007, Aboo stopped walking she showed a moderate

                           positive for HME which we treated extensively with Doxocycline to no

                           avail. We did towel carries and finally hand carried Boo outside to

                           potty. Little did we know it was her signal to us something was wrong,

                           not with her but with one of the pack, her pack, our pack. We could

                           not get her to leave our house, or our daughter Abby (2 1/2).  In

                           November of 2007, our daughter Abby was diagnosed with Leukemia.

                           Abby's hemoglobin was 2.9 when we arrived at UW-Childrens a level

                           which most often is incompatible with life. I am certain now that Boo

                           was trying to tell us something was wrong. When we couldn't hear her

                           cues, she laid down next to Abby I believe ready to go too.

 

                           Fortunately, that didn't happen and when we returned home from the

                           hospital after initial inductive therapy with our daughter Boo was

                           good as new. Abby's counts have gone up and down. When her counts are

                           good Boo plays outside and doesn't come in. When her counts are low

                           Boo stays next to Abby and is virtually immovable. I have since met

                           another parent in our practice, also the parent to a rescued Akita,

                           and her dog did the exact same thing!

 

                           God Bless Dog Rescues, Country Kennels, and our Amazing "throw away"

                           Akita.

                           Kerry Frank
