A Quick Reminder of What’s Going on Here –

My wife Mary and I lost our Border Collie, Gracie, to Chronic Renal Failure in September 2009.  She had been diagnosed with the condition early in 2008, and our vet told us she entered the final stage of the disease in January 2009.  Like many pet owners, we immediately went to the web for insight on the disease, and to learn about other owners’ experience treating their pets.  We found some comfort there, and I decided to keep a little track record on my blog (the original posts may be found at: http://hawksbillcabin.blogspot.com/search/label/canine%20renal ).  A couple of sources have picked up the blog feed or have referenced these posts – we very much appreciate the opportunity to honor our pet this way, and hope that our experience can help other owners prepare for the experience.
