I cannot let this drop, as I laid awake last night thinking of my dog and wondering, when did he start that barking.
This is a note I sent off to my son at 4 A.M. this morning.
Hi Kid,
I was laying in bed thinking just how smart dogs are.
My Mom used to always say, "dogs know".
Pokey, the dog I had when I was a child knew when the vet pulled up outside
on his house call, she would run upstairs and hide under the bed. No one
told her it was him, but that was the only person she would do that to.
Can you remember when Durango started barking, when we were eating. I am
thinking it was around Fathers Day or Dad's birthday or your birthday or so, I can't
remember.
I remember you saying why is he doing that. Remember us saying he started doing that
and we didn't know why. We thought he was just getting old and his
barking didn't bother him, cause he was going deaf.
HE WAS TELLING US ABOUT THE FOOD BEING BAD............He hadn't done
that for all those years suddenly he started. And that is when the bad
food came out and why they tested food in December, dogs were showing
signs of sickness.
It was around early last summer. That is why the barking. he was
still doing it at Christmas
When he got more lethargic and sleeping more he stopped, must have been
sick then, which we contributed to old age.
I guess I am so fricking mad that we unknowingly fed him rat poison, in
those cans and pouches thinking it was such a treat for him, when they, Menu Foods
could have warned us months back.
My Mom was so right saying "dogs know".
I do believe this to be true and Durango knew about the food being bad and was trying
to tell us.
Love,
Mom
