I have a friend who's best friend and constant companion is Holly, his guide dog. Holly is a 5 yr old Doberman who has been his eyes for the past 3 1/2 years. On Saturday morning, Holly was diagnosed with Wobblers - a neurological disease that affects the dog's gait. It is caused by a compression in a vertebra in her neck. The poor dog looks like she is walking the ice covered deck of a ship in the middle of a hurricane.
The vet retired her from service. So now my friend has to make a hard decision. He is trying to find a retirement home for her. But he also realizes that she may not recover and so he would have to help her over the bridge
. Either way, he can't bring a new dog into the house. She loved to work and if she sees another dog go into harness, it would break her heart.
The reason for this long posting...I'm asking for healing vibes for Holly and coping vibes for my friend. He hasn't stopped crying since Saturday morning.
