I got off work for lunch at 11:00 am. I called the vet as soon as my husband picked me up. They said he was doing ok and that the vet was going to be in to take the blood work shortly and they would call us back. We ate lunch, went to the pet store to talk to the owner and while we were in the store the vet called. Buster passed away before they could get the blood work. I am so heartbroken I can't put it into words. I feel guilty that he was there all by himself when he died. I cannot go back to work I am so distraut. It is amazing how that little creature grabbed a hold of my heart. I am going to do some real soul searching for the next little while and try to decide whether I want to try to get another dog or not. I'm not sure if I want to risk putting myself and my family through another experience like the one we have just went through. We appreciate all of your advise and good wishes. Thank you so much for your support and understanding. |
