Lost one of the pups

One of the dogs I have rescued died today. Little Sammy. He was a black, lab looking pup.

Yesterday I moved the dogs from their filthy kennel (from the people who abandoned them) to a larger fenced in area in my yard. When I moved them, thought the pups would follow their mother, but the runt, Buster, did not. Did not find him till today. He was hiding in the woods.

Today found Sammy isolating. He was lethargic and dehydrated. Brought him inside, got some fluids in him, but too late. I think he likely died of parasites (lots of rectal blood when he died). The poop in the kennel did not look good, and there was some bloody poop...did not know before, but must have been Sammy's. I hope Sammy understood that someone loved him before he died.

I buried him at the edge of the woods under a tree beside my dog Molly. RIP Sammy.

I don't understand why people want animals if they're not going to take care of them. Utter incompetence. Then again, if you evaluate our society and see all poorly brought up humans around us, it sort of explains it.

The truth is all around us.

whether you've known them for a day or a decade, it's always tough for a rescuer to say goodbye. i'm certain that sammy knew the difference in care that he received, even if for a very short time. just keep doing what you're doing - that's the best way to honor sammy and all other rescued friends that have passed. :thumbsup:

With bloody poo, are you sure it's not parvo? Especially with the dehydration, lethargy, etc.

Not sure about anything. But, I never say any signs that he had thrown up. The pups did look wormy.

Of the other pups...3 look good...have good energy. The runt is eating, but is quiet. I have him inside because he is small enough to get out of the fence if he were with the others....and he has already run and hid in the woods once. Wondering if the other pups picked on him.

Hope these images show up, not very tech advanced when encrypting photos. But this is my pup had him for about a year, he's a little jack russell terrier named tidus. The kid in the pics is my fiance's little brother...but trying to bring the mood up in this thread always sad for pups and kittens to die.

Yeah, they don't really throw up with parvo. It's more bloody stools, dehydration, and lethargy. You might want to quarantine ASAP and bleach everything- walls, floors, etc. That poo lives forever and a day.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through all this. We have 3 sets of kittens right now we're trying to find homes for. It's hard. All because my dumbass neighbor wouldn't get his cat fixed. He even quit feeding her, so now my mom has taken over that. She has kittens all over the place, too.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
