| Our Maggie |
Well, we are in Prince George, BC, CA, at Southpark RV Park. It is south of town 4 miles. As we said, Maggie was not doing well when we got here, so we immediately took her to a great vet clinic--that was on Friday. Staff and docs were knowledgeable and courteous. We left her with them to IV some fluids to hydrate and do blood work. That afternoon, they informed us that her kidneys weren't working well at all--possibly from dehydration. After watching her and checking blood, it was decided that her kidneys were shutting down--a side effect of heart failure. Yesterday we had Maggie put to sleep about 2 pm, and then buried her at the RV park. The people here have dogs and a beautiful place to walk dogs in the woods and grasslands. It is their place and they were happy to let us have a place to bury her.
Maggie was a faithful and loving dog and part of the family. She will be missed greatly! We might have managed to get her home, but it would have been abusive to her just for our benefit--and she deserved better!

Sorry about the downer on the blog, but it is what is happening here. We are staying here one more night, and then on towards Vancouver, BC.

So sorry to hear about Maggie. What a caring offer from the RV Park for her final resting place. May she RIP.
