He had a problem suddenly eating and having his bowel movements. I took him tothe vet had bloodwork, which showed nothing. I proceeded to have x-rays and found he had a tumor in his spleen. He was given medicine for discomfort and had a hard time, he was very uncomfortable. I went to pet him one evening after work and he cried out. I decided he couldn't live in pain. I made an appointment to put him down. IOt was the hardest decision for me, he was my baby.He got a bath every week, walked every night and loved unconditionaly. Imiss him so much, He'll be in my heart foreverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-53266802406392696912008-08-14T16:09:00.000-07:002008-08-14T16:09:00.000-07:00If you want to chat some more, email me at elf (at...If you want to chat some more, email me at elf (at) finchester (dot) org.
