Mother's Dog In Trouble

I gave. I hope everything works out.

Good luck, brother !

I hope all works out

Can you give us an update? I hope everything is well.

Hey guys, thanks for all of the positive vibes. Unfortunately, Mandy passed away about two weeks ago. The vet told my mom that the tumor was unfixable to the point where it shut down her spleen. Fluid was leaking into her stomach, making her not eat. We learned that this tumor is common for the majority of Golden Retriever's, Golden Retriever's are known to not show any pain, and that Mandy was sick for a long time before we noticed a difference in her weight and the slow growth of the tumor in her stomach. The money that was donated was put towards Mandy's vet bills. My mother was torn apart and so was I. I do not live with my mom anymore, so her feelings were much greater than mine.

Right after Mandy passed, my mother was contacted about an owner surrender dog Border Collie named Pepper. The owner was pregnant and couldn't give Pepper the attention she deserved, so she gave 2 year old Pepper for my mom for free. Pepper has been great medicine to my mom. While Mandy was in the vet, there were photos of Border Collie's on the wall and in the vet room. I'm not sure if any of you all believe in faith, but my mom thought this was a gift from God. We've had a Border Collie mix in the past named Magic and he was a fantastic dog to grow up with as a child. Now, Mandy joins Magic in doggy heaven, with their ashes right next to each other on my mother's mantel.

My mother has been tragically sad and stressed the past year with a divorce between my father and her, work, moving, and now the passing of Mandy. Pepper has made my mom and brother the happiest I've seen them in a long time. So, I believe Pepper was meant to be with my mother. Thanks for checking up all.
