Domino Feb 14, 2012 - May-22- 2012
Domino was born with some kind of defect...we believe a weak heart...I thought if I kept him and took care of him he would do well...But today he just couldn't go any further..just out of the blue he began to shut down..we may never know why...but we will always love and miss him.

Brandy
12-26-2012
We lost Brandy to Pregancy Toxemia. She was due to kid on the 31st. Hubby was having surgery and we were not home. By the time we noticed anything wrong she was unable to stand. her back legs were too weak. We began treatment and she seemed to improve but I'm sure her organs we already damaged. Its been a very hard year.

Tucker 6/2012- 1/2013
Tucker was our daughters little man...she has been working with him and Oscar since we got them . It was very hard to watch Tucker fade...He had a prolapse rectum that was beyond repair. After several months of us trying to help him he got real sick...In a lot of pain, we chose to put him down. He was a super sweet baby and will be missed
Domino 2/25/2013- 4/13/2013
Domino fought for almost a month...after getting Pneumonia and then joint ill. He is now at rest and no longer suffering....I miss him.
Gemma...2/2013-9/27/2013
We lost Gemma yesterday. 9-28-13. She had another battle with enterotoxemia..this time I didn't find her in time. She was in her hut...When I went out to check on everyone and found her..she was already down..I tried to save her but in the end...She just couldn't do it. A shot of Banamine help ease her suffering as I held her until she took her last breath. What a sad day.
Emily 2014
we dont know how old she was...but think at least 13 years old...she developed a tumor in her spine and slowly her body shut down...we let her go gracefully with the help of our vet...
