Baroness Mylu has crossed Rainbow Bridge

Last week we received a message from Mylu's dad. The beautiful almost 7 year old Baroness Mylu was very sick, and was struggling to recover. When she was not fully recovering it ultimately led to surgery and a 3 day visit in Kamloops Oriole Vet Clinic.  At some point over the last while, Mylu had eaten a pine cone and it had lodged in her small intestine.  Her mom and dad were understandably, "shattered"  but had hoped they could spend some "serious recuperating time" together back at home.

Earlier this week I received another message from her mom, Vivian, saying dear Ms. Mylu was not "rallying" as they had hoped. She was unable to keep even water down.  She was able to lay on her porch and watch the birds. She wrote it was evident she was in severe pain and discomfort. 

Mylu lived with a seizure disorder that began at an early age when she was hit by a car. She was kept on very strict and precise medications that controlled her seizures and allowed her to live a happy normal life. She was happiest when she was going on hikes and trail walks with her mom and dad and her friends. Mylu loved swimming and best of all her yard filled with birds and wildlife.
 No one knew it, although both her mom and dad had their suspicions over the last year that she had something going on. Mylu had underlying liver disease, probably from the very same medications that controlled her seizures.

Her dad wrote to say, "It was too easy to blame it on the heat and her medications. It wouldn't have made any difference if we had figured it out as she needed the medications.  It was heartbreaking to make the decision to have her put down, but knowing she had gone in to liver failure explained the lack of recovery post surgery and helped with the final decision.
We were both with her when she passed and Dr. Quinn was very kind.

Thank you for the care you provided her.  We always knew she was in good hands and never worried when we left her with you.  She truly was one of the most gentle and kind dogs I have ever known.  She has left a big hole in our lives right now. ~ Ian."

Mylu was allowed to go peacefully at Cache Creek Vet Hospital on Oct. 5th 2021

We are so sad and grieving along with her mom and dad, Ian and Vivian, at the loss of Royal K9 Korner's very own Baroness Mylu. I am so thankful I was chosen to be her daycare provider when  Mylu couldn't be with her mom and dad. We fell in love with Mylu very quickly. She really was so kind and gentle. So very easy to love.
We are sending all the emotional support we can muster to her mom and dad at this very difficult time.
May she run pain free and healthy forever more. 🌈🐾💝

Mylu was always happy to visit us. Although, she made sure
to keep a close eye on the gate in case mom or dad came back.

Mylu loved being outdoors and would lay for hours in the shade of our maple tree when she visited us. Even while her friends played around her, she would lay in watch for her mom and dad.  The same spot each and every visit. It was always easy to find Mylu. 

Lady May, Hazel and Sadie leave Mylu alone to watch while they play as usual.

Mylu, "I'm not sleeping I'm just squinting to keep the sun out of my eyes.
I can still see the gate if my mom and dad come back"

We will miss stroking her beautiful thick, soft, black fur.  When she stayed overnight, she slept beside my bed and I could reach down to feel her through out the night. I already miss you sweetheart.
You were such a good girl!
Rainbow Bridge has a New Baroness joining The Royal Family.
May you continue to reign with all the Royals who passed before you.
No more seizures for you girl. Angel life forever more darling.
Run! Say hi to everyone for us.
Until we meet again!

Rest in Peace Sweet Baroness Mylu  Nov. 2014 - Oct. 2021
