Buster was my first and most special boston. He was like my baby. He was very stubborn and bullheaded but he eventually grew out of that. He was very loyal to us and loved everyone he met. He had a very good life up until Oct of 1999. He started having seizures and I wasn’t even sure what they were at first. They became much worse and turned into gran mals.
He was having them so severely he would cry during them. It was the most pitiful sound anyone can listen to. I would just hold him until he got over them. I took him to the vet and they put him on Dilantin. Which caused him to be like a zombie. He suffered with this problem for 8 months. I thought he was improving so they had me wean him off of the drug.
He was ok for about 1 1/2 months and he started back into them and he was deteriorating from the severety of them. So on May 13th of 2002 I had to make that dreadful decision to put him to sleep. The morning I took him he wouldn’t even get out of bed. He laid there for hours.
My husband and I have never cried so severely as that day. Tosha my other female boston laid in the bed in the same spot as him when we got back and buried him. She grieved for a week or more. She had known him since he was 1 yr old. I still cry about him from time to time but I know he is in a better place now. No more suffering.
He is with the angels and they gave him a new body that will last him threw eternety. I want to say to you Buster: You are my special boy and mommy and daddy and Tosha miss you so much. I know you still visit us from time to time. I know when you are there. I love you with all my heart and I will cross that bridge with you someday and we will be a happy family again.
Wait for me on the rainbow bridge
