🐕 Were eating out poor Dog for Breakfast today 🍴 Max has a second Life through us planting Plantains over his grave. 🍌

🐶 Over a Year ago a bad puppy virus spread through our area killing over half the dogs in our neighborhood. We and our Excellent Veterinarian threw everything we could at it but eventually max succame and was buried in our yard.

Max, Johana & Cheeta, Happy days on the Homestead

Max came to us through a nephew who was going back to school and didn't think he could care for Max but knew we would. He had a skin problem that was quickly cured by a visit to our Vet, Who 1 day I will blog about. He is all heart and doesn't even charge for simple services, only the medicine (which is cheap here.)

🐶 Max must have had some hungry days in his past because he would eat non-stop if allowed to, which was an issue because Cheeta has never been hungry and would let food sit till she wanted to eat. We also kept Max on a dog run leash because he had no street sense and would run across the road to visit a neighbor dog without looking so Cheeta's food was kept out of reach & sight because if Max knew it was sitting he would howl for it. LOL

💔 We knew Max was sick when he refused to eat! and dogs were dropping like flies around here. Cheeta is almost bullet proof but got the same bug and amongst our arsenal of medicines, we had 2 shots set aside to end their misery if need be.

😢 It was very emotional times for us with high's and lows almost daily trying to decide if we should break out the final injection. 😭

🌊 🍽 All the best food was cooked to entice them to eat and some days they would which gave us hope and prolonged the agony. 😨 After a few weeks and the Vet refusing to give us any more medicine I had to go back to Canada for my Son's @docmonoc wedding.

💕 Cheeta seemed to be on the mend and Max was still having high's and lows when I left, So Johana was alone in her decision. Which she made a week or so later, with no more medicines and Max not eating at all or even drinking the final shot was given.

😓 Working hard in the hot sun, Johana dug a large grave, placed Max in and promptly planted a Plantain near his body to mark the spot.

Here is some the produce that was just harvested from the site

😜 And how we came to eat our dog for breakfast today 😁 He was Delicious. 🐶 We Love you, Max 💗

🍌Plantains grow from the roots so this will be an ongoing thing for years to come, Here is the new shoot and the cut down harvested plant🍌

We now have another dog thanks to Cheeta having Puppies ! and we kept the runt of the litter.
Cheeta is Our Rescue Dog and it has been a joy having her around. I have done several blogs on her alone and I'm sure more to follow. I'm going to see if she will be a good sailboat dog in the near future?

Thanks for reading and supporting my blog 😎 I've been away for a while and just getting back into the swing of things.
