In my recent post about Billi, I mentioned she was one of the nicest dogs we know. The other was Hannah who last week developed an auto immune problem which stopped her body creating platelets which clot blood. After 10 days in intensive care, where the vet staff did everything they could for her – including transfusions of live platelets from dogs owned by their staff – she was not improving. While she wasn’t in pain, she was very weak and losing a lot of blood. Last night Lyndall, with the support of her partner, and their vet, conceded the miracle they hoped for was not materializing and made the decision to let Hannah go – thus ending as Lyndall put it in her email advising Hannah's passing “the 14 year walk with my (our) mate”. She will be missed.
