Rat Poison, my PeeWee Options

[lauriefish]

I just lost my 5 month old boston Terrier PeeWee this memorial day. My family is devistated. You see we just bought a camp to bring family and friends together for some fun and a get way. It was a happy thing. I cleaned outhe camp a couple weeks ago and found some rat poison upstairs under a bed. Of course i cleaned it up and search for more. This Memorial day weekend everyone came up and we had a great time. Monday morning I noticed PeeWee was breathing funny and gums were pale so i rushed her to the emergency vet. He said her lungs were bleeding and it is very serious. Long story short, She did not make it. The vet said it was rat poison. I could not believe this. I cleaned that camp from top to bottom.
I called the former owner and asked her where she had put the poison. She saus she hid around the inside of the camp.
I am not trying to blame anyone but I wish she had told me this when I bought the place or at lease cleaned it up knowing we had dogs. I also wish I would have torn that place apart looking for the poison.
My PeeWee did not deserve to die this way. We are having a very hard time dealing with this accident and her senseless death. She had such a big personality in a little body. We miss being with us and so does our other dogs. We cant seem to funtion during the day. I have been going through all sorts of emotions constantly throughout the few days. Cant eat, cant do anything, just sick to my stomach. She fit in to our family so perfect. What a shame. Just cant believe this.
Rat poison should be made illegal. The companies make the poison look land taste like candy. What would happen if a small child ate this. Its just so unfair.
