A sad blog today... :(Our beautiful, crazy dog Kissah died suddenly last Sunday night. We took him to Paul's sister's place so he could share our holiday with us. We thought he would be SOOOOOO happy on a farm for two weeks. I drove him up there and he was such a good boy in the car and on our break. Wim was there too so Kissah had someone familiar to follow around for the first week while we went camping. We had to get him a tick collar and some flea stuff so he didn't get sick up there....
On the Saturday Paul went up for the day while I did some shopping in Forster with the girlies. When he got there Kissah was shaking and Paul noticed straight away. Then he noticed that he was bleeding from behind and he was also throwing up. I can't believe noone noticed anything was wrong with him before this! Anyway, he took him to th evt who didn't really know the cause of all this. He gave him some tablets and told Paul to watch him overnight but he said Kissah was a healthy young dog and he would be ok. He died peacefully during the night while Wim was watching him.
It's all a big mystery what happened to him. We thought it may be a snake bite, but the vet didn't think so. He suggested maybe ratsak, but we don't use it and Loes and Wim said they didn't have any there either. It's very frustrating not knowing what happened to him and we can't help blaming ourselves for taking him there in the first place. We should have left him at home. It was sad to come home today and see his kennel here and no crazy happy dog waiting for us. We'll have to get a puppy soon.
Hannah doesn't quite understand what has happened, she knows he was sick and went to hospital. She knows he died and went to heaven and he is with "Puppy" the Ferret. It's also sad cause Marc and Evelyn's dog Zeus died a couple of months ago too, he ate some snail pellets. So we haven't had the best luck with pets lately in the family.
Wim buried Kissah on the farm down near the dam and we planted some trees there yesterday.
We'll miss that crazy dog!

Oh no! Poor thing! Have you figured out what might've happened since? And he's barely out of puppyhood. I feel bad for you guys. We're facing slow deterioration with Jasper here. He's either constipated or has the runs now. Old age! Greg won't be happy when he keels over. :-(
