Reese, my little shih tzu has been my fishing buddy for the past 10 years, and she loved going with me on the boat, if we went outside and I raised the garage door for any reason, she would go to the boat and look up and bark until I sat her up on the boat, she would run around all over the boat and end up laying down on the front of the boat and just watching everything I was doing. I got up one morning last month to let her go outside to take care of business, and she was off balance, and fell to the floor, had to carry her out in the grass to potty, took her to the vet, he said she showed symptoms of being poisoned, she did nothing different than any other time, out to potty and back in the house, I don't see how she could have been poisoned, the vet gave her two shots and some pills, said she should just lay around for a day or so and start getting better, I let her lay all day, she would only drink a little water and wouldn't eat at all, and I had to use my finger to get the pill far enough in her mouth to get her to swallow it that night, same thing the next morning, I let her lay waiting on the meds to work like the vet said, no change at all on getting better after a day and a night, so I took her back to the vet, he keep her and called me the next morning and said she had died, he said he had been a vet for over 40 years and had seen a lot, but never had seen a dogs red blood cells drop as fast as my little dogs did, he said it was as if her own body turned on it's self to destroy it on red blood cells, I loved this little dog like a child, it was always laying in my lap when I was home, my wife said she would tell my little dog that I was coming home a half hour or more before I got there and she would go to the front door and lay there and wait for me, when I buried this little dog, I cried like a little 8 year old boy, and i'm an old man...
iphone 6s plus photos 1024.jpg it's been over a month and I still catch myself going to change her water bowl, or start ot get up to let her outside, it's crazy how a person can get to love a dog so much, and how other people treat them so bad...
