This is Bonnie’s story.
Bonnie is a much loved, member of a family for 12 years. She was chosen at the RSPCA when she was 6 weeks old. She is a German Shepherd X Kelpie.

Bonnie’s story was written by her owner. Indigo and I wish them well. This is a beautiful story of a much loved pet that has given joy to a family for twelve years and is now being rewarded with lots of tender loving care in her senior and not so well doggie years.

My daughter Erin how is 26 soon picked her out. We bought her home.  
Two days later she got sick took her to our Vet she had kennel cough. She recovered from that. Erin and her slept together, I came home from work 11pm sometimes. It was so cute seeing them cuddled up together. Erin left home joined the police force and when we knew Erin was coming home for a few days, we said to Bonnie, “Erin be home soon.” Bonnie sat at the front door waiting for Erin, so happy when she came back home.

 Bonnie is the best dog we have ever had. She gets so excited when Erin and my son Jason and daughter Fiona and her son Brodie comes home.

Took Bonnie for her yearly vaccinations in Feb and a physical.  The Vet found a lump in her neck and wanted to do a biopsy.
The biopsy was done.  I’m a nurse I knew it would not be good, she has lymphoma.

Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers seen in dogs.

 Vet told me all the treatments for Lymphoma ........ ( chemo $4000 was not an option )  Bonnie  is taking Prednisone tabs to slow the cancer  and she is doing well at the moment. She has increased thirst and appetite; these are side effects of the tablets.
Her course of steroids finish in a few weeks.
I’m thankful the Vet found her cancer, so we can spoil her more.

When the time comes ( I know when that will be ) to put Bonnie to sleep. My Vet will come to our house to do that, so Bonnie won’t be stressed being taken to the Vet
