They come in all sizes. Big shaggy ones that slobber all over you, little short haired ones that love to drive you craxy with shrill barking and running through the house. This one was a little guy, long hair that he loved to have brushed, and she did too, several times a day, and he snored loud enough to wake the neighbors it seemed. In his youth he was a show dog, but we broke him from that and he deighted us for the past 10 years, and we made sure that he always had everything he needed and wanted, except for the long long walks in the woods, sure do wish I could take him on one of those again. Maybe someday!!
His little heart gave out on him today, and it was sad to see him suffer. I couldnt stand to see him gasping for air and hardly able to stand. We took him to the Vets office shortly after lunch, and while she said there was hope, it was only a glimmer. They kept him on oxygen and she called me at 4:30 and said he wasn't going to improve, so Kathy and I went to say good bye to a really good friend . It was the hardest thing I have had to do in a long long time. I will miss the little guy more than you could possibly imagine.
