Britt by Dave Van Eden / Dave Mom & Dad

We got Britt as a puppy. When she was a pup, she did not grow properly. Her back legs were longer then her front legs, but she evened out when she was about six months old. When she was around a year old the hunting members of her family took her to a place called Hunters Creek to have her trained as a bird dog. We ended up taking her there for about 3 sessions. We hunted her till she was about 10 years old, then her hearing went; then she was a loving pet after that for 4 more joyous years. Britt would also howl like a wolf when left alone too long. About 4 months ago Britts health started to reiterate quickly; her back legs started to go bad. She began losing weight, and her mind totally lost it, but she was eating and her bodily functions were good.

Then about a week ago she went down fast; then a couple days later we made a vet appointment to have her put to sleep. On December 2 we took her to the vet. The vet gave her a sedative shot to calm her down. When that took affect the vet put her on a shiny table top, and we said are last goodbyes. He injected her. Then I leaned over her gave her my last kiss goodbye on her head, and cried my eyes out and left her so she could go to heaven.

I hope you enjoyed your stay on earth with us. I hope you are not in anymore pain any more. You will always be in our hearts Britt. Love you very much, have sweet dreams till we meet again.
