floundersgreatadventure

Hi, for those of you that have read my blog or are just now stopping I started this when I first came to Colombia 14 years ago. I called it floundersgreatadventure.com because it was about my cat Flounder and our travels around Colombia. Four years ago Flounder passed away, he was twenty years old. My Labradoodle dog Antonia was already here. This past Thursday Antonia died suddenly. The doctor said it looked like poison. She might have eaten something or been bitten by something. Antonia had spent Mother’s Day with our family she played with the Grand Kids and was happy as could be. Monday morning she seemed fine. We went for our normal walk and when we returned she wouldn’t eat or drink. Finally, in the night she ate. Tuesday she would only eat a cookie and didn’t want to get up. Wednesday she couldn’t move and started to lose control of her bladder. The doctor arrived in the afternoon and said he had to take her to the hospital. She died while we were on our way to see her on Thursday morning. I need a pet to make me exercise and get out of the house. So, although this might seem harsh yesterday I adopted a mutt and named her Lucy. She’s three years old and as far as I can see had never seen trees or grass until this morning. She has many of the traits of Antonia and if I didn’t know better I say Antonia was coaching her. I’m going to put her picture up here soon and will try to write more about her as she grows. This is FATS and LUCY saying CHOW from Medellin, Colombia.
