With Love and Tears: Charlie’s Journey
Though we couldn't win the battle, we gave him every chance possible — thanks to you.
Thank you for supporting Charlie during his health crisis. This disease, myasthenia gravis, is a rare and very difficult disease to fight. Thanks to you, we were able to give Charlie every chance possible.
Sadly, the disease was progressing despite round the clock medication, the best medical care available, and lots of love. Then, Charlie began showing us he was uncomfortable and was ready to stop fighting. We did everything we could, but when we realized that he was suffering, we helped him make the transition with the assistance of our friend and skilled veterinarian. I was with Charlie the entire ride to the vet, and during the time he passed. I layed with him; hugging him with my whole body. I stroked his head wet from my tears, and whispered his name in his ear, and told him what a good dog he was and how much we all loved him.
We can’t win every battle, and loss is part of life. But at Goatlandia, the love and care continue — for Charlie’s memory and for all the animals still depending on us. Because of you, they have a real chance: at healing, at happiness, and at a life where they truly matter. Thank you for making that possible.
With love and tears,
Deborah Blum - Founder of Goatlandia
