Re: Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge
This is our Conan. Found at 8weeks from a man who was only breeding for money. He was a little thing just swarming with flees. Wiggling around our feet wanting to be picked up. Who could resist such a dirty happy boy. So, I gave the man his money and took the dog and ran. He had generalized demodetic mange (nearly died from the dips), a luxating patella (a knee that slipped in and out of joint all the time) that cause him great pain. And a lousy digestive system. But he had the biggest heart and the greatest will to live. We got him all fixed up and he turned out to be our Energizer Bunny. So much so that we had to get him his OWN pet. His pet "Miss Murphy Brown" was an 8 week old Boston and from the time they met they were bonded. They were funny and silly and Conan protected her and me. He was Uncle to Cavalier babies to the point they grew up thinking they were Boston Terriers. He taught them all about playing and doing the Boston Terrier 500. Right up until then end, he would still play tug of war with anyone waving a toy in his face. He had only one eye and the other eye had a cataract in it, but it didn't stop him. His rear end was failing him, but it didn't stop him from playing his favorite game....chase the ball. Right up to the end food was his favorite thing. That and scratches. If you stopped scratching him he would nudge you to keep going. He has left a HUGE void in our home. We miss him so much. Not an hour goes by where we don't look for him and realize he has passed on. He was 11 1/2, but was too young to be taken from us. Our hearts are hurting, but we know he is waiting for us...young and pain free with a ball in his mouth....eternally our Energizer puppy. All our love, Debbie & George551Views0likes0Comments
