Oh, that is so tragic and just unthinkable, heartbreaking that you have been through such an awful time. Any time one sees much blood coming from any orifice of a dog, it's a good rule of thumb to just get them to the vet ASAP, even if it's the middle of the night most of us have access to ER vets and your terrible situation just drives that home to me. I'm so horrified to hear what happened and know you must have been walking around in shock and fear and disbelief! I'm sorrier than I can say that that awful guy acted so insanely to kill innocent dogs over barking!!! I was a victim of harassing barking for years and I wouldn't have hurt the dogs doing it and keeping my life miserable for anything - it simply isn't the poor dog's fault, even if it is barking. Sorry, didn't mean to stray off subject there but I feel so bad about the dogs being murdered over a dog barking! Even the little barking one didn't ever deserve that!

If anyone here made any remark you thought was rude - and I don't want to step on any toes here and apologize for others as we can all speak for ourselves - I'm certain that they were just scared and worried about your dog and wanted badly to hear back. This online community really cares about the dogs' problems posted here and after hearing of one ill, suffering, you quickly become attached to that dog in a strange way. You just care and want to hear how the little thing is doing. There is just something about the act of reading about one hurting and ill, reading the other replies and posting a reply that really involves you with that dog and the poster. Then you want to hear how the dog is doing so badly and you get scared for the dog when you don't hear back, never for a moment guessing that the owner could be going through Hell such as you were. There's no way anyone could know or possibly even guess you were dealing with a poisoned pet. People here are not mean or nasty and would never on purpose upset someone going through what you've just been through with your little one.

I'm so sorry that your baby was killed so horribly and pray that you got her to the vet ASAP and they were able to ease her some before the euthanasia had to be done. Such an awful tragedy it is just impossible to imagine how you are even getting through this. I can only hope and pray that you have family or friends who can help you and comfort you and help you get through this most awful of times.

Rest and take care of yourself for now, get some medical help if you need it and even seek some counseling if you need it to help yourself cope. When you feel better, tell us more about Shasta and share some pictures but for now, hang on to your good memories of her and know that there are many here who will be praying to help you find some peace and hope for a better tomorrow. God bless.
