Your Pet's Story or Bio (How was your pet rescued? Any cute tricks?)
Edie (fka Sugar) was a 14 year old owner surrender, who we rescued from Carson Shelter on May 21, 2014. The previous owners said she was too ill. Thanks to The Barking Lot for helping us to rescue her, and Kathleen McCabe who transported this little sweetie to us!

The whole first evening Edie was passing out every 40 minutes! We took her to Bay Park Veterinary Clinic the next morning to learn that she was having syncopatic episodes due to congestive heart failure. After getting her a prescription for the appropriate medications, she trotted out of the vet, and hadn't had an episode the rest of her time with us.

Edie still wheezed a bit when she got too excited, so we tried to be very gentle with her. That didn't stop her from investigating the WHOLE yard, and she loved rolling in the grass! Edie sat at our feet wherever we were dwelling, and when we were eating, she stood at our feet and barked with a whole-hearted hop! Yes, this little princess melted us!

Edie's little heart told us it was her time to go on August 20th, 2014. We are confident that we Fulfilled our promise of Family to her, as her broken-hearted mommy and daddy wept over her and whispered sweet words into her ears, as we released her from her struggle-our final promise.
