sweet spunky Bagheera. I've put off this post because it hurts my heart too much to write about her. However a dog like Bagheera deserves to be remembered for the 6 months she was on this earth. I miss my dog, I miss her being over the top excited to see me, I miss her playing with the kids in the yard and knocking over the little one because she just can't contain herself, I miss brushing her long gorgeous ears, I miss rubbing her chest and belly, I miss her wanting her paws held, I miss her sweet eyes looking up at me while her chin is resting on my knee. I miss her company on car rides. To me Bagheera is unmatched and losing her from not only my program but from our family stings tremendously. She had so much more life left to live and that was ripped from her. Bagheera was a vivid example of what I strive for and I will consider myself either lucky or very blesssed if another dog comes close to Bagheera for me. Her sweet young innocents and her zest for life are what keep leading me back to tears and heartache. All she wanted was her family. Now she's buried in our back yard. The only peace I have is that everything is for a reason and God has a plan even when it's not the ideal plan we envisioned. I am at least thankful I was able to kiss her goodbye and tell her she's a good girl. I sure hope our favorite dogs are in heaven because I couldn't imagine it without them. Bagheera was the start of something better here at Pinewood Poodles, I have her aunt that will have to carry on Bagheera's short lived legacy. The support you've all showed since I brought her home has been amazing. She seems to have been a fan favorite, I'll still be forever fan girling over this amazing dog I was fortunate enough to have loved for her short life.
Edit to add because everyone is asking. She passed from an accident, nothing genetic related. I didn't share these details in the post originally because it's tragic and I wanted to focus on Bagheera but to clear the air I'll share.
She was acting super lethargic and was vommiting a ton, I took her to a good emergency vet where they did a bunch of diagnostic testing and IV fluids. It was determined that she had an obstruction from a foreign object. Before surgery could be done she got really bad really quick and needed to be put down because she was suffering and at the point of no return.
