I used a vet that comes to your home where your dog can drift away in familiar surroundings. Last week I thought she might be able to make it another week or so but after a downturn over the weekend decided to schedule the appointment for today . Hence, yesterday was party time. Some of you may know Nia. Besides being GOAT shop dog, she has helped build trail and bridges at Revellie Peak, Reimers Ranch, Pedernales Falls and Pace Bend. She also spent a couple seasons on the TMBRA circuit camping and loitering all over Texas, has helped me sell I \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bike\u00e2\u20ac\u009dtrails stickers at Glen Rose and Syllamo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Revenge, rooted me on at NUE events in Ark,Ga, and Ohio, and even served as greeter for Enchilada Buffet finishers at the Nut where we began enjoying trails together several years earlier. My first post on this forum was a rant against Government Canyon for threatening to impound my pet for leaving her tethered to my bumper during a ride. I stopped doing it after that but for a while she loved coming along to whatever park and chilling in nature with a water bowl , extra gallon and some shade. Never on hot or cold days and never more than 90 minutes. She particularly enjoyed the picnic benches at Reimers before the new lot and Muleshoe. Heck you may have even topped off her water back then(if so thanks).
