OUR BELOVED PACO FURBABY
In 2000, Paco was a wee pup when I finally listened to my daughter who told me of how her friend had taken in these pups to keep them from going to a shelter.
I took heed and went to pick the pups up when the tallest of the bunch stayed with me and wouldn’t leave my side. So I packed them up and was headed to the rescue to drop them off, but even then the one would not leave my side! Just then, I thought how we’d have to take him home despite already having another dog who wasn’t at first too keen of him. He rode home on my lap this time, and since having surgery was always at my feet on the couch, and subsequently in our bed as well. Paco and our other dog soon became friends as he became a permanent member of our family. He was the one who was our security guard and often herded our one dog, as well as neighborhood dogs and kept any squabbles at bay. When he was 15 he had pancreatic cancer, and we did best option of surgery, and had to be hospitalized to stay hydrated with ivs for a month till we moved him to our holistic vet, and from there, we were hesitantly prepared to say our goodbyes. Amazingly he recovered and was like a puppy again, running up and down steps again for the next 3 yrs til an accident caused an injury to his hock. Even with a brace since didn’t slow him down any. It wasn’t til he was half past 18 did he start to slow down some, though still doing his happy dance. We had the vet come out to do assessment 3 months prior, which he was still doing good considering. It was only last few weeks that it was apparent his starting to have chronic seizures, along with his poor foot and brace becoming too much on him. After much consideration for his quality of life we felt it was time to have the vet come out a final time. We know he was greeted by Kiera, Kuster, Tuffy, and our cats Keisha, and Baja. It gives us great solace to know we will see them all again! RIP PACO- WE LOVE YOU!
