It's been a while.....

So, the first week in April (on Sunday) we came home from a skiing weekend and Copper had some really strange behavior - hiding, running.....   She is always SO attached to us.

The next day she was okay but walking a little 'wonky'.   Walking a little bit sideways.....

The day after that she was burrowing to get away from us, had no control over her bodily functions, wasn't eating, wasn't drinking.   We made a vet appointment for Wednesday, the next day.

The vet diagnosed her problems as a 'neurological' event....   she was shaking her head from side to side, very slowly and her eyes crossed every time her head crossed the middle of her body to move to the other side.

We had no choice but to euthanize.   For her sake.   This is our third loss in less than a year.

Booger - May 2015, Handsome - March 2016, Copper - April 2016

Ugh.   Sad, sad days at our house.
