Poor little guy…we went to the shelter last Saturday. The same on e my Taylor boy came from. Lots of nice pooches but my wife selected this little guy. He was even sitting in the same kennel my Tay was back in ’95…
He was all puppy but when he wanted your attention he would do his puppy dance and then sit down, very definitely, to get your attention. He had one really good puppy day, checking out the new digs, getting attention, ran around the back yard like a mad dog and played with his new ball like it was playing back….
Sunday he went off his food. Monday he was throwing up some and had some worms come out. The shelter said that was to be expected. Tuesday he went to the vet, said he had parvo. I kept him in fluids and his color came back to his gums, by night he was drinking on his own. The next day though his gums were white, he went downhill slowly and then towards the evening he became nonresponsive. He died around seven with me holding him…
Such a smart little puppy, such a good boy. He kept close to me and kept checking to make sure I was around. Right now I’m holding him in my heart and holding to myself my thoughts of all those folks who don’t take care of dogs and get them their shots…
Sleep well my little boy..
