I REALLY MISS YOU

Featuring:

MADDIE

MADDIE IS A BEAUTIFUL SIBERIAN HUSKY PUPPY...SHE WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE SHELTER ALONG WITH HER SISTER, BY ONE OF OUR OFFICERS.SHE WAS SO SMALL WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT HER.I WAS THE FIRST TO FOSTER HER BUT, ONLY FOR A FEW HOURS... SHE WAS SENT TO KARA'S HOUSE TO BE BOTTLE FED. AFTER A FEWS DAYS SHE WAS DOING FINE... CARRIE PICKED MADDIE AND HER SISTER UP TO TAKE THEM HOME TO FOSTER. MADDIE SISTER WAS QUICKLY ADOPTED. CARRIE HAD MADDIE FOR ALITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS AND JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH HER.SHE LOVED CARRIE'S DOG DOOR WHERE SHE COULD RUN IN AND OUT ALL DAY LONG. CARRIE WAS LEAVING ON CHRISTMAS BREAK AND ASKED ME TO FOSTER HER. WHEN I GOT MADDIE SHE REALLY DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A SIBERIAN HUSKY VERY TINY EARS ,BLACK EYES, BLACK NOSE AND PURE WHITE....LOOKED MORE LIKE A SPITZ.BUT COME TO FIND OUT SHE WAS A VERY SPECIAL PUPPY.I ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH MADDIE ,SO DID MY DOGS REGGIE ,SAM ,AND SOME OF MY CATS. BUT,NOT THE ONES SHE LIKE TO CHASE. AFTER HAVING MADDIE FOR AWHILE I NOTICE SHE URINATED ALOT AND WAS ALWAYS WET ON HER BACK END, SHE CLEARLY COULDN'T HOLD HER URINE. I CALLED DEBBIE AND SHE HAD ME TAKE A URINE SAMPLE TO PVH.WELL NO UTI, BUT SOMETHING WAS WRONG.BACK TO THE VET FOR DR.RHODES TO LOOK AT HER, SURE ENOUGH SOMETHING WAS WRONG SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH HER BLADDER. HER TUBES THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO CONNECT TO HER BLADDER DIDN'T..... THEY WERE CONNECTED BELOW THE BLADDER SO SHE CONSTANTLY LEAKED URINE.CALLED(ECTOPIC URETER). DR.RHODES SAID MADDIE WOULD NEED TO GO TO OSU FOR A MAJOR SURGERY AND IT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE. DEBBIE AND I DROVE HER TO OSU FOR THE DOCTORS TO EVALUTE HER AND THEY KEPT HER OVER NIGHT.CARRIE AND I PICKED HER UP THE NEXT DAY.THE TEST RESULTS CONFIRMED MADDIE NEED SURGERY, BUT NOT UNTIL SHE WAS 6 MONTHS OLD.SO CARRIE STARTED LOOKING FOR HELP....A RESCUE NAMED "AFOREVERHOME" JUMPED IN TO HELP...NOW THE HARD PART FOR ME WAS TO LET HER GO.I KNOW IN MY HEART IT IS HER BEST SHOT AT GETTING THE HELP SHE NEEDS.I WILL MISS HER RUNNING AROUND MY HOUSE ,CHASING CATS AND PLAYING WITH HER IMAGINARY
FRIEND. SHE IS GROWING IN TO A FINE LOOKING HUSKEY. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL DOG AND I WILL MISS HER GREAT PERSONALITY.I WANTED TO SPEND EVERY MINUTE WITH HER SO DEBBIE I DROVE HER TO HAGERSTOWN TO MEET HER NEW FOSTER MOM. IT WAS A REALLY NICE MEETING... BUT SO HARD FOR ME TO SAY GOOD-BYE ...SHE HAS HAD HER SURGERY AND IS DOING WONDERFUL WITH HER NEW FOSTER MOM AND FAMILY.I MISS YOU MADDIE AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOMEDAY SOON. THANK YOU "AFOREVERHOME"
