Last night I lost it. I’ve been remaining strong since McKenzie Rae became ill on Saturday but I couldn’t hang on anymore. I just had to cry. As I sat on the floor next to McKenzie as she laid on the couch, I cried as I watched her struggle to open her eyes. It was painful for me to watch but I can’t imagine how painful it was for my baby girl.
McKenzie Rae’s Unexpected Health Decline

When we rescued McKenzie Rae about a month ago, her health was pretty good. In fact, it was amazing considering where she came from. McKenzie was a stray (most likely her entire life) so who knows what she was up against on the street. Well, after a few weeks of mild kennel cough, McKenzie Rae’s health has taken a quick turn for the worse, and I’m in a panic.
