Muggles was born on our property on my birthday.
She and her many siblings were born of my mother's dog, Belle. Unknown father.
We found the litter of puppies, bottle feed them, and raised them like children.
They run away a lot, and I worry every time. That's how Belle died, was hit by a truck.
Another dog we had before them, Spooky, bit me once as I child. I still have the scar.
Back to Muggles, she has gone through so much.
Her brother, Jobu, died a couple years ago. He was obese and had a rapidly growing tumor on the back of his neck.
Bleeding for several days before bringing him to a vet
They recommended to put him down..
We did.
We tried our best. Using diapers and bandages to hold it together. Neosporin so his pain would go away. He could at least sleep. My mother said he looked at her as if he were saying "thank you" during the uh.. execution.
A year ago, muggles got an infected sweat gland.
A close friend of ours has had this happen to their dog. They said, "every time they remove it, it grows back."
We brought her in, they removed it, and it hasn't come back.
Her sister, baby, wanted to be in this post too.
Thanks for reading
