I know what it's like to loose a precious baby. A year ago this past March we had a black lab that was the picture of health. Then he began laying around and I noticed his gums were bleeding a little. So we took him to the vet and he was diagnosed with something called Thrombocytopenia. Something was attacking the platelets in his system and over the course of 3 months and several thousand dollars, his organs began shutting down and we had to do the only humane thing there was to do, and that was let him go. My husband and I often talk about him and ask ourselves if we had known the end result at the beginning, would we have invested that much money into trying to make him better, and we both agree wholeheartedly that we would have just to have those 3 months with him. Because the three months were not ALL bad, he had some good days and there were days we thought he was healed. So I'm telling you all this because.....like everyone has said...treasure the days, love the pejeebies out of him, make memories that will last forever, spoil him rotten and don't let anybody tell you miracles don't happen. All the time you have with him and the way he bounces around.......go bounce and have fun with him, grab hold of your little miracle. Hold on and treasure your little miracle!
