To me, Peanut was love at first sight. He was pet store puppy, but I loved him, and took him anyway. I had his name picked out from the moment I saw him -Peanut- it fit perfectly. He looked every bit beagle, except for his squishy face, and Stu of a tail. He was easily the cutest dog I had ever seen in my life.
I took him home, and created a place for him in my home and heart immediately. He had such a personality… he decided right off the bat that he owned the leather recliner in the living room. He would have lived there if I had let him. He loved to be held and would sleep all night in my arms lying upside down like a baby.
Peanut’s short life ended on December 13th when I came home and found him having a seizure. I tried mouth to mouth recussitation on him in the car because he stopped breathing. By the time we got to the Vet’s, it was too late… he had lost all brain function
due to lack of oxygen.
Dr. Bixel gave me a few minutes with Peanut to say goodbye. The Vet Tech. slowly pumped air into his tiny blood-filled lungs to keep him alive while I told Peanut how much I loved him, and how sorry I was that he didn’t get a fair chance at life. I then held my little baby as he slowly slipped away into heaven. He wasn’t even 13 weeks old yet, but I loved him soooo much. Before I left the Vet, the Dr. gave me
Peanut’s footprint in clay.
*****Peanut- I love you! I will never ever forget your curious brown eyes, your happy little tail, or your willingness to give kisses. Your bed is still in the same spot, waiting for you to come home and snuggle. I miss you so much, and I am so sorry. Please don’t forget about me! I love you always!**********
See you in Heaven,
