R.I.P Petey 5/26/09 - 9/24/12

Thank you to every one that has helped my family with what was a horrible week for us. We tried to do all that we could but to no avail we lost the good fight.

Sadly we had to put Petey to sleep yesterday. I wanted to let you all know sooner but I was just to heartbroken to reply the news.

Petey ended up having Valley Fever. This is a mold spore found in desert areas that effect humans and animals. Some people get pneumonia like symptoms. Others can just get the neurological part of the virus.

Petey didnt show any signs of being sick. He sneezed a lot but we were told it allergies. The Valley Fever is what caused the seizures. It was contracted a minimal of a year ago the Vet says and because he was so young and healthy he just didnt show any signs until it was to late. The disease spread into his nervous system and the size of the seizures and the frequency caused just to much brain damage it was in his best interest to let him go.

As you can tell we are all saddened. But it was very uplifting for us and especially my young one to read all your positive wishes and heart felt prayers.

I couldnt stand the fact of some one taking my dog so I took him out to his favorite walk along the mountains and laid him to rest there so he can watch the sun set. We will think of him at every sun set now. There will be not be another goofy dog quiet like Petey. He will be loved and always missed.

Maybe PJ can play Sad from Lost Dogs on Sunday in memory of Petey.

Thank you.
