They hydrated him in office, then I took him ho me that night with medication, and he died in the evening. I was DEVESTATED!! This week marks 8 weeks since he passed. Sometimes it feels like 8 years ago I held my precious baby. He was so loved by everyone who met him. He was so loving and friendly, even SMILED!. We have a 6year old female, and we love her just as much, but I would honestly describe her as "your regular dog." She is not super friendly, a bit skittish. But not our Baxter! He was the friendliest dog ever. Great disposition. We would always say "we are so lucky to have a one in a million" dog. The whole WORLD seems surreal without him. Even when I am out "doing regular things, like work, grocery shopping etc. I keep thinking to myself, that he "is not home," "he isn't anywhere!" "he isn't home enjoying LIFE with us," "he isn't "perched at the front window" waiting to see us drive up! It drives me nuts! It has only gotten a TINY bit better in 8 weeks for me. If you don't mine me asking about your sweet precious baby, I would love to hear. I sometimes feel "cheated" that my Baxter only lived 10 years. Thank you for taking the time to reach out and send me a note. I sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks so much for sharing your story with me...sunny was only 7 yo when he passed...he was so healthy till 6 yrs old...stopped eating, lethargic, lost 4 lbs, vomited all the time...he was really sick-took him to 4 diff vets/had all tests run /blood panel run...no one knew...at the end he couldn't breathe - the radiologist said his lungs were completely infected..still didn't know what from?? We had him in an oxygen chamber for 2 days but nothing helped...I still have nightmares about holding him & talking to him as the vet put him to sleep....nothing harder I have ever done...still not over losing him...took him everywhere with me-never left him at home/ he was our child. I would have done anything to have 3 more yrs with him...so in that regard you were fortunate...on a brighter note ...picking up new Biewer puppy May 9...it's a girl! Please let's be friends cause I am so stressed about a new baby...hope she will like us
thank you for your sweetness & your love for Baxter...that's a love some never feel!!!! Hugs, Kim
