IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR LITTLE ANGEL PUPPY
ARRIELLA
Arriella
(March 26th 2004- August 16th 2004)
Sadly our little Arriella crossed over to the Rainbow
Bridge on August 16th 2004 just a few days before she was to become part
of her wonderful new family in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio.
Arriella is now at the Rainbow
Bridge but she is not one of the rescue dogs who went to the Rainbow
Bridge without a family to love her because her family very much loved
her and were so anxious to meet Arriella.
Arriella's Family's hearts along with all of ours are very saddened by Arriella's
passing.
Our prayers go out to Arriella's Family .
We know you would have given Arriella a wonderful loving forever home.
Arriella became ill with a cough that appeared to be Kennel
Cough. She was immediately put on antibiotics but after a few days did not
seem to be improving.
On Saturday evening she didn't eat at all for her foster mom. On Sunday Arriella
had green nasal discharge and was lethargic.The foster mom called her vet
and made arrangements to get Arriella to the vet first thing Monday morning.
However, when Arriella's Foster Mom went to get her from her
crate, she was unconscious.She rushed Arriella to the vet. The vet had Arriella
on
a strong antibiotic IV all day. Arriella never regained consciousness. Arriella's
Foster Mom visited
with her and petted her and spoke to her from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The
vet and Arriella's Foster Mom agreed to keep her on IV's overnight . However,
at 8:07 p.m. Arriella's Foster Mom received the call that Arriella had passed
away.
CBC Blood Panel testing confirmed that Arriella died from distemper. Arriella was fully vaccinated against distemper but there is a new mutated strain of distemper that is resistent to the vaccination and CODA is currently trying to learn more about this strain of distemper.
We will never forget our Littlest Angel Arriella O'Neill
You have touched the hearts of so many people who had never even met you
Arriella.
People loved you so dearly our little Angel
Many tears and many broken hearts will help to guide you on your journey to
the Rainbow Bridge
So you may romp through the grass, without even a care
Until the day comes when you meet your family there
to greet you and hug you in a very long embrace
and rejoice paw in hand as you cross over the bridge.
