It was one year ago this weekend that I lost Dusty, the dachshund mix I'd rescued from Stennis Space Center. He gave me a wonderful gift of love, fighting heartworms for a little over a month and he just couldn't fight any more.
You were a sweet little dog Dusty, and I'm sorry your crappy people couldn't be bothered to give you heartworm preventative. I tried so hard to save you but my best just wasn't good enough. You didn't deserve to suffer even for a minute, and you had that wag for me. I knew it was time when you lost that wag and your heart couldn't take it anymore.
