Bronx by Kathryn

Bronx my gentle giant. I feel in love with him the first time I had seen him. He grew to be 171 lbs of loving teddybear. His sister and him where the only two living from the litter left. We miss him horribly! And are hearts will never be the same. My son was only taking his bestfriend for a 10 minute walk when he collapsed in the road.

Jason not knowing what was wrong asked him to come onto the house where he could cool down. He made it almost home when he went down again. Jason scared that his friend was realy ill picked up this 171 lbs baby and carried him the rest of the way home. I had gotten home from a two day trip ready for bath and bed. I walked into a nightmare to see Bronx deficating on him self.I called my father [who is a vet] he tould me to bring him there right away.

THE CAR RIDE. What would have been full of barks and slobbery kisses was silent but for my sons crys for god to take him instead of Bronx. My dad and coworkers worked on him for what seemed like an eternity. His sister by his side for support Bronx fought to hold on. My dad knew I hadn’t slept in 2 days
so he sent me home.

When I went to kiss my Baby {Bronx} goodbye he sat up and kissed me to Make feel better. I wish he were here now because I need the big Loggerhead. I miss him even more. My son blames himself but was only taking his bestfriend for a walk just like any other day. He is heart broken. But we still have his sister who ways around 125 lbs. and is sleeping
in my bed right now.

We will always love and
miss Bronx.
