Now we are seven!
It’s approaching 6:30pm here in Oregon.
Jean and I have just returned from taking Paloma to Lincoln Road Vet Clinic.
The reason being is that not two hours ago, Jean and I came into the house to find Paloma paralyzed in both rear legs.
Dr. Russell Codd at the clinic determined via an X-ray that a spinal disc had ‘popped’ and contacted a spinal nerve, hence the paralysis.
My planned post for tomorrow is postponed. I’ll write a eulogy for Paloma and publish it instead.
I am so sorry to hear about Paloma. My condolences to you & Jean. That exact problem occurred with my Arnie. Please know my thoughts are with you both.
Susan, that is so precious of you to say that. I have just read it out aloud to Jeannie and we both send you our love.
Thank you, Paul.
So sorry to hear this. Condolences.
Thank you, Barbara, for sending us your condolences. Best wishes to you.
Mercy it just does not cease. My sincere sympathy to you and Jean. This must have been an awful shock. I am deeply sorry that Paloma had to be put down. Please find solace in the fact that you gave your pet all the love and care possible. I assume that Paloma was a rescue from Mexico and was a very special dog.
Yes, you are correct about how Jean took on Paloma as in her, Paloma that is, being rescued from a Mexican street.
Yes, it was also a very sudden shock especially coming so soon after Casey.
Yes, your kind thoughts are most gratefully received. Thank you.
So sorry xx
Thank you, and welcome!
Oh good grief. I am so, so sorry, Paul and Jean.
John, having our ‘virtual’ family around us, you and so many others, with which to share our joys and our sad times, is special beyond words.
Just so bloody sudden. Our hearts go out to you both. And to safe travels for Paloma.
John, you are a dear friend. Thank you!
Paul my heart and thoughts are with both you and Jean.. sending Love and you have my heartfelt sympathies. ❤ ❤
Lovely lady. Thank you so much.
❤ ❤ ❤
PS, I know Val would also send her well wishes to you both.. But seeing a post from her, she is experiencing difficulties commenting and mentioned your blog as being one that her comments wouldn’t register.. xxx
Oh, that was smart of you to realize that. Well done!
❤ xxx
I’m so sorry for your loss. We are down to two from six. I know Paloma will be missed by both you and your wife and the other four legged children in your house.
Kim, what a sad way to welcome you; if you get my drift. Thank you so much for your loving thoughts. I shall be publishing the details of how Paloma came into Jean’s life just as soon as I am washed and dressed and taken the dogs out for a spell. Once again, welcome to this place.
So sorry to hear the sad news Paul. 😥😥heartbreaking
Very much so; as they all are when it comes to the end.
So sorry to hear about yet another pet crossing the bridge. Now we are thinking of you and sending puppy kisses to wipe away the tears. ❤︎
That’s very special of you to write that. Thank you.
Oh, no, Paul!!! I’m so sorry my friend! It is hard to believe and not so long ago, Casey. I know words can’t take away the pain but you have my thoughts and I’m sending you both my love and hugs.
Marina, as we were driving Paloma across to see Dr. Codd, the vet, it was haunting me in the sense that it seemed just a flick of an eyelid ago that we were driving across with Casey.
But your thoughts and all the precious expressions of caring from everyone do make a difference. To a degree they do take away the pain because I truly believe that love washes away pain. There has been so much love sent our way.
