Hello.  I wanted to share the sad news of Petey’s passing today.  He had gotten very sick with what we think was liver disease and his blood count had bottomed out.  The Vet said a person with that low of a blood count probably would have passed away sooner but the Vet said cocker spaniels are known for hanging on.

Petey had not eaten in about 5 days, had lost a lot of weight, and could barely walk.  He clearly was uncomfortable and it wasn’t fair to ask him to hold on any longer.    He went very peacefully this morning in my arms; his body was finally relaxed again.  I was with him the whole time. 

He was a wonderful dog and companion.  I already miss him very much.   He brought incredible joy to my life and I hope a little to yours as well.

Love, Arline
