Our Rainbow Bridge Fambly.

Hi there. This post is going to make Momma's eyes leak.



To start things off, I will introduce yoo to Tandee Pitbull. This is her Dogster page: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/404922


This is a rather long entry, but please bear with us on it. Tandee was my bestest buddy in the world, even though she was a DOG. We would cuddle together alla times... Here is a picture of me in Daddy's pants (don't ask) and Tandee lying beside me:





Tandee Wigglebum was the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dog we have ever had the honour to meet. Daddy got Tandee when she was a puppy. She had a rough go at life, through no fault of her own. She was swarmed with bees and almost died. She was maked unconsious when our house burned down, as we were all in it at the time. She had a condition called "Happy Tail" and had to get most of her tail amputated. And she died far too young, at the age of 6. She developed a condition called " Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMT)" She had to be euthanised 2 days after we had a diagnosis.


Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is when platelets are destroyed by the body's own immune system, at a rate faster than they are produced in the bone marrow. About half of dogs with IMT experience only one episode of thrombocytopenia, and respond well to treatment within a few days. Some dogs will have occasional relapses, which may be associated with stressors such as another illness, or travel. Unfortunately some dogs with this disorder die acutely because of severe internal bleeding. Sadly Our Tandee was one of the unlucky ones.


Tandee loved to kill soccer balls, and she was a very fast runner.

She was famous for her smiling face, and wiggly butt



EVERYTIME we had a kitten in the house, it would end up cuddled with Tandee. She was a wonderful foster Momma. Tank, his siblings, and Tibby too would find a safe haven



Its been one year since she went to the Bridge, and her collar hangs on Momma's bedpost. We still miss her everyday.


A sad MTW

  1. Tandee sounds like she was a great woofie. I bet she is up at the bridge playing with soccer balls and being a momma to all the kitties up there.

  3. Your post made our Momma's eyes leak, too. Then she smiled when she saw the picture of Tandee with the babycat. Her dog, Holly Belle loved us like that. She was also the best dog ever. We think they are playing at the Rainbow Bridge.
    You gave Tandee a great home, and she looks so cute with her smile.
    Sending you and your beans lots of ((((Hugs))))
