I am very sad to say that my puppy, Bear passed away. He seemed fine but apparently we missed the signs of a bad worm infection. We were worming him every two weeks as recommended for puppies but unfortunately the wormer we bought only treated one type of worm. I went out to play with my puppy and he could barely stand, his back legs were nearly paralyzed and he just kept falling over. I ran to the feed supply store after searching on the internet for the cure. We bought garlic, pedialyte and wormer I ran home and spent hours trying to spray tiny bits of pedialyte down my puppy's throat and make him really comfortable. He seemed to be doing a little better, lifting up his head when my husband came out.....so we all went in for dinner, when we came out he had passed on. The whole family was so sad.

We decided that after the really bad time we have had with animals that we would wait before getting another pet but Zuka was very upset by that decision and begged for another puppy for his birthday. We ended up getting a RED Australian Cattle Dog. He named her foxy because she kinda looks like a little fox. She's super smart....in fact she learned 3 commands today, sit, down and shake. I like her....but I still really miss bear :)
