Tank was my first Dog, My first true friend…it is so difficult to admit that he is no longer with me, I miss him so much. Tank was a gift from God the best well behave puppy (without any training)it took me 2 years to find the perfect breed and breeder after I found her I felt in love with one of her dogs. I ask her that when he was breed I want it
one of his puppies.
8 months later I got an email with the pictures of the most beautiful puppies, but one in particular took my breath away …Tank was just like his dad the only difference was that the color ear was on the left not on the right but they were identical. I felt in love with him right away, went to see him every week until he was ready to go home with me. I plan this for so long, when he came home it was the happiest day of my life,
always sleeping in my arms.
OH God if I love him so much… anyone who meet him fall in love with him he was so sweet and friendly, love to run and love his friends in daycare, yes he was in daycare 5 days a week,
always happy.
I miss my daily walks, miss running with him in the park… I’m so lost with out him..at 7 months old Tank was a beautiful 60! pounds of love and joy.. until one day with out any indication he started spinning in place non stop!!
At first we though it was an allergy on the back of his legs that irritated him so bad that he couldn’t stop spinning trying to get at it, but after taking him twice to the emergency room and to specialist visits the spinning didn’t stop, it just got worst. I had to hand feed him,
make him drink water.
He wasn’t the same he will bite my hand when trying to play with him or if I try to stop him and hug him he will get so desperate. He never, ever did any of his necessities in his crate or at home but now he was doing it while he was spinning, he wasn’t sleeping at all.
My heart was broken, the vet told me to give him a medication that is suppose to work but that I wont see results until maybe 3-4 weeks!!! I couldn’t let my baby suffer any more it hurts but he is my baby and it was my responsibility to make him happy as he had made me, even know I want it to hold on to give it a try, I knew it wasn’t fair for him he was suffering, inflicting wounds to himself. I just could not take it.
Tank went to heaven happy, because mommy was there and he went to sleep on my arms, right away I could see in his face the relief and at that moment when I say “I love and don’t forget that mommy will pick you up like I always do from day care. I will see you soon, just rest”. At that moment he wage his tail something that he haven’t done in almost 3 weeks than I knew he was happy. and I knew I will see him some day again. I miss him so so much….. he was and still is my everything.
I will Always love you my Tank,
