I shot this video on Saturday of Josie feeding Kona. It was so cute to watch them! She originally was grabbing a piece of food, putting it into Kona's bowl and then getting her a new one. That moved on to Josie taking the bowl to the food, putting it in and then giving it to Kona. As you can see from the video poor Kona hardly had time to eat the piece(s) before Josie would take it to refill it. Josie entertained herself for at least 20-30 minutes like this. Kona thought it was great too as she was getting free food outside normal meal times!
Sadly, this is the last video we'll ever take of our beloved dog. Two days ago Kona stopped eating (highly unusual for her!), became lethargic and wouldn't go on walks, had labored breathing and a fever. Yesterday she was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Basically her body began attacking her red blood cells. It is a fast moving disease and in Kona's case it moved even faster than usual. She fought a good fight but in the end wasn't able to beat the disease. Chuck and I were able to visit her one last time today and take her outside to enjoy the sunshine. I'm so glad we were able to have that last moment with her. She shall be missed so much by all of us. Rest in peace dear sweet girl!
