Sadly, I write about my buddy Thor. I've never met him...yet our hearts have connected. I loved him since the first picture I saw of him waiting for someone to rescue him. He was hairless due to demonex mange and was sentenced to die. The treatment the shelter was giving him wasn't working and they had given up but Sam came along with something special for this guy.
Hope. And it went a long way. She brought him home and completely changed his treatment to one that actually began to work at least for a while. For a few months, he got good exersise, loving and playtime. He had fun and playmates. He even got out of his crate and got to sleep in the bed! :) Then he got a skin infection along with possible food allergies. Now, the mange has returned and the poor boy is suffering. It is time to let him go and end his pain.
My heart goes out to Sam and the work she's done with him. He is scheduled to cross over the Rainbow Bridge sometime on Friday. Please pray for Sam and Thor and our group as we will mourn this loss of life in a great way.
