Boo Boo was the sweetest little boy. He wasn't by any means a dog...he was my child.  He loved us so deeply and took so much grief from my daughter when she came into this world.  He loved me as his mommy from very early on.  We got him when he was 3 weeks old and he died at 10 1/2 years old and although it has been 7 weeks since he passed, I'm still not able to cope with the loss of my baby.  He loved to roll in the grass clippings and loved food.  He didn't have a mean bone in his body.  He was so sweet and had everyones heart.  I miss him so badly I still cry myself to sleep at night.  He was diagnoised with Cushings disease, but within a few days of treatment, he didn't improve.  A lump was found on his side and they did exploratory surgery...the found the growth conntected to his spleen, but his liver and other organs were swollen very large and covered with cancer.  The organs were so enlarged that they couldn't even see his stomach.  They told me he had one day to maybe a week as his appetite was already gone and he wouldn't get it back.  He'd been throwing up and refused food or wather and was losing weight fast.  I decided to let my baby go that day as he was suffering.  I pray he is happy and running and playing and eatting all that he desires.
