Yesterday, our hearts were shattered.

Cookie, a tiny, sweet chihuahua who is deeply loved, was brutally attacked by a much larger dog. The injuries he sustained were catastrophic and far more severe than anyone could have imagined.
We rushed Cookie to Southern Rockies Animal Emergency & Specialty, where the team immediately placed him on oxygen and began evaluating his condition. What they found was devastating.
Cookie had a ruptured diaphragm, multiple broken ribs (at least four), and likely a punctured lung. Even with oxygen support, he was struggling just to breathe. Every moment was a fight.
After careful and compassionate discussions between the veterinary team, Liz, and our rescue, the heartbreaking decision was made to let Cookie go peacefully. His body had simply endured too much trauma.
Cookie was not alone. He was surrounded by love in his final moments, and he passed knowing he was cared for deeply.
This loss is unimaginable.
We are asking for help to cover the emergency veterinary expenses associated with Cookie’s care. Even though we did everything possible to save him, the cost of emergency treatment, diagnostics, and critical care adds up quickly.
Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward covering these expenses and helping us continue to be there for animals in crisis just like Cookie.
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Cookie and Liz in your thoughts.
Fly high, sweet Cookie. You were loved beyond measure and will never be forgotten. ️
