Bandit 2000 - 2013

Bandit

Born sometime in the summer of 2000

Passed away October 1, 2013

This is the next to last picture I took of her. I used the last in last Friday's post. 

I tried to post a comment to yesterday's post last night but apparently the iPhone app has its limitations. I'm using it right now but I'll finish this on a laptop. 

We left her overnight at the Small Animal Hospital of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (one of, if not the, best in the country.)  We knew she was critical.  They didn't (and still don't) know what the problem was.

The Doctor called at 7:00 AM this morning.  Her heart had stopped but they had managed to bring her back with CPR.  (We had left instructions to do everything they could.)  We were on the road when she called again, to let me know they were doing CPR for the third time.  When we arrived they showed us to a room that was obviously used to deliver bad news.

I have to say, that the professionalism and courtesy of the LSU vets even exceeded my expectations (which were high.)  I really don't feel like saying any more right now, and I certainly don't feel like being my usual smartass self.
