Stahlke Adoption

Update: Fly

In December, Fly and Lila were reunited. In Fly's last three weeks, she could no longer walk, which meant that relieving herself was not the clean affair that dogs prefer. Because of these difficulties, she would delay urinating as long as possible, which led to infections. The day we found blood and urine on her bed, we made the appointment with the animal hospital. During Fly's time with us, we gave her the maximum safe dose of painkillers, so I'm fairly confident that she was not in physical pain.

It was a privilege to care for her, and in our shoes Lila would have done the same for us. I miss both Lila and Fly a great deal.
