WINNIE (2004-2012)

Hello, folks!

This is Winnie and this is me, Carla R., a teacher of Physics and Chemistry at Bocage Basic School, telling you about our little companion for many happy years. Winnie has an amazing life story which was already told in this blog (check a previous entry about Kenai - the dog lying on his bed - and Winnie).

Unfortunately he has caught canine leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites transmitted by the bite of an insect, usually a mosquito. This is a terrible incurable disease and we all witnessed Winnie dying for several months: losing his appetite and his weight, losing his sight and vitality. In his last days he used to faint and any time it happened, we used to say farewell him until the day… he really passed away If you have a dog, don't forget there vaccines now.
