For those that kept up with the Olympics in South Korea and the closing down of a dog meat facility. . . Beemo was one pup that was rescued from there and adopted by Gus Kenworthy. Beemo, such a beautiful gorgeous girl and so full of personality. She had such a sort life but her story touched so many. I thought I'd share.

Two days ago my beautiful baby Beemo passed away. It was completely unexpected and Matt and I are beside ourselves trying to cope with her loss. For a week or so we'd been worrying because she was showing less and less interest in her food. There were several trips to the vet and on our final visit this past Thursday I asked them do a full body scan in case there was an underlying issue they had missed. Beemo went into a panic attack during the x-rays and her breathing became rapid and shallow. The scan revealed that her lungs were deteriorated and that her heart was too big for her body - a birth defect we had no way of knowing about. Unable to treat her there, I rushed her to the emergency vet where a breathing tube was put down her throat. They hoped that with a respirator breathing for her they could get her vitals back to a normal level so she could be treated but they were never able to do so. The past two days have been a blur. It all happened so fast that it's still hard to believe it. The ER doc told us that even if we'd somehow spotted the issue earlier it wouldn't have made a difference in the end. He said that she'd been living on "borrowed time" from the get go. Beemo was truly the best thing that ever happened to me and I feel so fortunate for our borrowed time together. I've never loved anything or anyone in the way that I loved that dog and she is and will always be deeply missed. She was so smart and playful. She brought so much happiness to so many people every single day. I'll always remember being out on a walk with her and every other second she would get stopped by someone wanting to pet her, kneel down and kiss her, hold her in their arms or take a photo and on many occasions a crowd of people would have formed around her. That was her power: she made people smile. She was the kindest, most gentle soul I've ever known. She loved people. She loved birds and the snow. She loved me and Matt. But most of all she loved meeting other dogs. If any of you have pets up in doggy heaven please tell them to go find Bee because she could really use a good play date right now. RIP sweet creature - your daddy loves you more than you could ever even know!

Beemo brought awareness to a 'farm' raising dogs for meat in South Korea. A international rescue stepped up and that facility is now closed down, dogs rescued and brought to Canada and adopted out. And it all started with that one visit and this cute pup.

I don't think much of the vet they used. Anytime a puppy doesn't eat is time to worry. And an x-ray without some sort of sedation on a puppy? Just wrong.

An X-ray??? Sedation for an X-ray? Why would you ever suggest that??? That would add extra risk to a simple and easy procedure.

Very sorry to hear of your loss and hope you find comfort in your joyous memories of your sweet dog. Mr. Hobbs went to doggie heaven a couple weeks ago and will enjoy romping with Beemo. It's always hard to part ways with our beloved canine "children".
