I just lost my best friend. He was the one who was always there for me. When ever I needed a friend I would turn to Lazer. When I was upset, he would be there for me to hug and lick away my tears. When I was happy, he was also there for me. Now I feel so empty because I need him and he is not there. I know I did the right thing but it really hurts. I didn’t want him to suffer anymore.

He lived a great life up until Christmas when he started to get sick and was diagnosed with diabetes. I did not think he was going to see his 14th birthday but he did. It was very hard for me because I was pregnant and was getting up in the middle of the night to let him out. We got him regulated with his sugar but he went blind. He then started getting infections from the diabetes.

Finally he started vomiting and I called the vet and made an appointment for him to see what was going on. In the middle of the night he started having seizures and I knew he was starting to suffer. I couldn’t do it to him anymore. So on my daughter’s 3rd birthday
I had to put my best friend to sleep.

My son was born only 3 weeks before but I’m glad I got to take some pictures of them together. I will never forget Lazer. I treated him like a son. He even wore a tuxedo to my wedding and walked in with the bridal party. He was such a great dog. I am trying my best to go on because of my family but it is very difficult. I do know that one day I will be with my precious little puppy. Until then..

 

You will always be in my heart,
