Shadow
My best friend, Shadow, passed on today.He would have been 13 next
month..I know that his other life He was a human..He had so much
personality..We took Him to the Vet back in March because He was
limping..The Vet said, He had Cushings Disease and If you get Him on
meds, He will be fine..the meds were $150.00 a month but He was like
my
little son and I didn’t have a problem with the price.. |

He was doing
great until 2 weeks ago and He started to limp on His left rear
leg..I
figured He slipped on the dining room floor since it was real
slick..that happened on a Friday, well Monday came and He was
getting
worse, He was dragging His leg so I ran Him up to the Vet and they
gave
me some medicine and said “If He gets worse, bring Him back” Tuesday
morning He was limping worse, so I took Him back to the vet and they
scheduled a x-ray for Wednesday morning..I took Him up there
wednesday
and left Him there because they had to knock him out to take the
x-ray,
well they called me at 1:00pm and wouldn’t tell me on the phone what
the
problem was, they just said “you need to come up here and talk to
the
vet” That was the longest drive, I think I have ever taken..the vet
showed my the x-ray and He had cancer all over, liver, spleen,
lungs,
spine..I was so mad at the vet because He never had the cushings
disease, It was cancer and I would of had a 4 month head start on it
if
She would have taken the x-ray back in March.He got progressively
worse
throughout the final week that He lived..I had to carry Him outside
to
go to the bathroom because He would just fall down and the one side
of
His face was distorted, I think He had a stroke..when I got home
yesterday, He was real limp and couldn’t walk so I fed Him chopped
up
steak and had to give Him water with a eye dropper because He
couldnt
get His head down to his food dishes that I had right next to Him on
the
living room floor..I woke up this morning, and my Brother was
sleeping
on the couch right next to Him and Shadow was twitching real bad and
We
knew it was time to take Him to the Vet..I went to work and when I
talked to my Brother this afternoon, He said He was getting Shadow
ready
to go to the Vet to get put to sleep and when He came back in the
house
to get Him, He was gone..It was like Shadow said, I’m going to do
this
myself, you don’t need to put me to sleep..I’m deeply saddened for
His
lost..I already miss Him meeting me at the door when I get home from
work, saying “Im hungry! its time for din din!” My brother took Him
to
the park everyday(and I mean, everyday!) for a couple of hours and I
took Him on a ½ hour walk everynight..We adopted Him from Gateway
Animal Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio..If we wouldn’t have adopted Him
that
day, they would Have put Him to sleep..We was my little angel..He
will
be buried at Paws awhile Cemetery in Richfield, Ohio on Friday..This
Cemetery is neat because I can be buried next to my dog..I know it
will
take time for the sadness to heal but I really miss my “boo boo”
