Our poor dog Maverick is having a hard time lately... About a year ago we decided to buy a different dog food to just the dogs through the weekend... So we decided to just run to the corner store to buy the IFA brand of dog food rather then the normal Beneful Healthy Weight that we buy for our dogs... Well, he ended up getting a really bad allergy that broke out all over his body from head to tail... I felt so bad for him... He had sores oozing and they were bleeding and he lost 80% of his hair... Warning to everyone... Make sure you feed your dogs or pets good food... When we took him to the vet he told us that he had a food allergy to what we feed him... He also had diabetes and has just recently gone deaf... Poor Maverick... We have had him since he was 8 weeks old and now he is close to 11 and we decided it is best to put him down on Monday... The poor old dog over the last week has had his hip give out on him so we are having to carry him and assist him in taking him out to do his thing... We know it is right to do this... But like I said, be careful what you feed your pets... I am sure IFA is a good dog food for some dogs. but it wasn't for our dogs. We only gave it to them for two feedings and this is what it did to him... It didn't cause his deafness, but it did the really bad sores and now scares all over him... I feel bad for him...
This is Maverick before he got sick...
This was about 6 months before giving him the dog food and it was all downhill from then on...
Last night was a pretty long night... It's nice when Chuck is home and then he can help rub out the muscle spasms that I get all night long... I am sure that makes for along night for him... Or I keep him up all night long because I am either getting sick or sore or whatever else... Then as soon as I get to sleep or Chuck does, poor Maverick has to have help in going outside... Over the past couple of days, that has turned into a long process...
Otherwise, nothing much is going on today and I have decided to not do church tomorrow... Not sure why that is... I was really set on it, but I don't think I am feeling it right now... Chuck and I are going to go over to my daughter Beckiahs and her family for Easter Dinner though... I have been really proud of how they have come together as a family...

Sorry to hear about how Maverick is doing. I know you have had a rough year with him. I am also sorry if I said more than I should have to others. I didn't mean to make it worse. I hope you will forgive me. I shouldn't have shared private conversations that I had with others either. I do hope that you will go to church tomorrow. I think it would really help. I will be going to my church and I promise that I won't stick my nose in where it doesn't belong. I care about you and want what is best for you.
Thanks, Laura
Thats ok Laura... It is what it is... Yeah, we will miss Maverick... He has been a sweet boy... I think I am going to just stay home tomorrow and then go over to Beckiahs house and just think over things and see what is going on... I know you care... I don't blame you... Huggs and Happy Easter... Have fun at your Sunrise at Tuachan tomorrow...
