I originally planned to update this site to share details on Patti's visit to the doctor yesterday and the plan for the next 6+ weeks.....but needed to set this aside to share a moment that is near and dear to Patti and Mike, and their furry child.
It is with sadness to inform you that Patti and Mike had to let go of their boy Gabe this morning.
Patti and Mike took Gabe in a little over a year ago as a rescue from Wisconsin Adopt A Golden Retriever (WAAGR) with a known illness - Lyme's disease.
They have been struggling with his deteriorating muscles these past months and today, after Gabe fell coming into the house and could not get up, they had to make the decision that was best for him.
According to the doctors who briefly looked at him before they had to say goodbye, they stated that Gabe's muscles deteriorated to nearly nothing due to this disease, which is why he simply could not get up today, and why he has been struggling with movement in general.
So, we pause for this moment, and know that Patti and Mike understand that it was time, it was the right thing to do, but lost a fur child today.
In loving memory...........
