We are lucky to have
animals in our world
by
Keri, 11/23/03 My name is Keri. I am 13 years old. recently our 8 year old Schipperke died. Before he died, we had
taken him to the vet several times, and they couldn't
find out why our dog was in such respiratory distress.
They took a culture and sent it off to a nearby
University to find out what it was. Well, he died two
days later. He couldn't breathe and his lungs were
filled with blood and a fungus. He believe that this
fungus was caused by our two pet ducks, which have a
communicable disease to domestic pets. We got rid of
the ducks about a day before our dog died. The Schipperke
is a fairly unknown breed of dog. Anyone that saw him
didn't know what breed he was. After he died, we decided
to get another Schipperke, and try to help educate people
on this breed. Now we have little Isabelle, a 15 week
old Schipperke female. And the death of my best friend
helped my realize how lucky we are to have animals in
our world.
