I no longer have my specail dog,Pandora she was a springer (what else?)after she was born she developed a buldge on her eye. The vet said that one of the other pups in the litter must have gotten a nail under it and it was infected. He suggested that we put her down but who can put down a 3 day old pup with out a life threating disease. Not my mom or me(we've even warmed near dead bunnies in our bras)Pandy was given meds in the slit of the unopened eye till they did open. The result was she could see the out line of things but the catarac type of floates ,
which caused her to move her head like those nodding dogs you put in the back window of your car. She had 2 litters of pups and all are excellent hunters and 2 became service dogs for the disabled. She also was a terrific tracking dog had one leg to her td title. But I had to move and couldn't take her and so left her with mom. Unfortanaly her (pandy)mom and 2 of her siblings that mom had tore her up on afternon it was so bad mom and the vet called me to ok putting her down. I talked to her as they gave her the shot. I could here mom and the vet crying too.The vet was the one who said to do it earlier, Mom buried her next to my 16 year old cocker. Under the lilic bush by the porch where they both slept togeather 2 years before.
Training her has a challange had to use noises. Judges at events couldn't beleive her abilities. Hope thats the kind of story you wanted, now I'm going to go finish crying .She s been gone 19 years the cocker 22 still miss both some thing awfull.But I think a little of each is in my Merlin sometimes one of them shows though.
