In Memory of the Rez Dog Rescue Angels
_If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
For this - the last battle - can't be won.
You will be sad I understand
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
For this - the last battle - can't be won.
You will be sad I understand
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
Bubbles
Bubbles was intentionally hit by a car going 60+ miles per hour, and although she was owned by people prior to being hit by the car, she was not taken care of properly. Poor Bubbles was in excruciating pain. She had to be rushed to the Emergency Clinic late at night as well as seen by RDR's usually veterinary team as soon as they opened. Unfortunately Bubbles was in too much pain and even with expensive surgeries the likely hood of her recovering and living a pain free life was very slim. So following advice from the vet and with Bubbles best interest at heart Randy made a difficult decision to humanely end Bubbles suffering. RIP Bubbles <3
Whistle
Whistle was named by a 3 year old, but as odd of a name as Whistle is, it sure did fit her! Whistle was only at her foster home for 2 days before she became sick with Parvovirus, but she was fed, cared for, and most of all loved for those 2 days. RIP Whistle <3
Emery
Emery was found on the reservation in Wapato with his four siblings, including Luna, and her mom surviving off the land. He was a playful little guy and the biggest out of he and his siblings. Emery fought a good fight against the Parvovirus for 6 days before his body just gave up.
RIP Emery <3
RIP Emery <3
Luna
Luna was found on the reservation in Wapato with her four siblings, including Emery, and her mom, surviving off the land. Luna got sick with Parvovirus and was with Dr. Lust for a day and then acted like she was feeling better so she was sent home. Unfortunately, she was still sick and had to be rushed back in a day later. She hung on for a few days before her body just gave out on her.
Isa
_Little Isa was one of the Konnnowac Pass puppies and she did not have a very good
start in life. She and her siblings were abandoned and neglected for their first short 12 to 14
weeks of life. It wasn't until after the rescue she then found out for about
two of those weeks before her passing that there were people in this
World that were loving and caring and that was her RDR Rescuers, foster
Mom Cindy and Foster Dad Dave where she received love and for the first
time nutritious food. Unfortunately, Isa's system was so depleted from
other medical issues including starvation that when she contracted the
Parvovirus it just took her down fast. Dr. Lust and his Staff did
everything they could to save Isa but to no avail. RIP Isa <3
Princess Monique
_Rez Dog Rescue initially saved Princess Monique from the Yakama Indian Reservation from a bullet to the head for no other reason than was a Pit Bull. Monique had to be euthanized when she was tragically attacked by several other dogs at a foster home through another rescue group and the damage done to her was just too great. Princess Monique was one of the most loveable Pit Bulls that RDR has ever had in our system. RIP Princee Monique <3
