Gescha

I regret to inform you we had to put K9 Gescha down this morning at 12:30am. She was fine until last weekend, she wasn’t feeling well and we took her in and she underwent emergency surgery to remove a tumor in her spleen. The cancer was found to be the most aggressive cancer a dog can get. Last night we noticed she was not her joyful self again and she ended up collapsing at home. We rushed her to the animal hospital where it was determined she was in shock as the cancer had spread to her other organs and she was bleeding internally. The hardest decision in my life was to put her to sleep. She was such an amazing animal and her love for her family and friends was even more amazing. When we retired it took her several months before she realized she could just lay around the house and “be a house dog”…she missed working so much. Our house is so quiet without that big black furball running around.
