Last night started off pretty good but soon Liberty's cough/gag was non-stop. We gave her the Gabapentin but it did nothing. She could not catch her breath and it was obvious she could not continue like this very long, so I contacted a local veterinary clinic in Glasgow KY and we headed that way. They got us right in and the veterinarian basically confirmed what we suspected that her enlarged heart was pushing on her trachea and basically choking her from the inside. Her condition was not going to improve so the humane thing to do was euthanize her. They were very compassionate and did everything to ensure a humane and smooth transition for Liberty and us. A sedative was administered and she went to sleep very peacefully on Doreen's lap, followed by a medication to stop her heart. She crossed the rainbow bridge at 0935 hrs.
We are absolutely devastated to say the least. I am crushed. I feel like our hearts have been ripped out. She has been our travel partner for her entire life since we got her in 2013. Liberty has met many of you and has visited all of the lower 48 states. She was the best traveler and will be missed beyond words. So enough of the words and will close with a few pictures. We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers..
