My beautiful, loyal boy Boston boy, my first boy dog. I sit here missing and loving you so much. When I got home yesterday I greeted all of my babies by name, all four of you, except there were only three now. I said your name out loud before I even realized, and the weight of it crushed me. Always the healthiest of the troop, but the first to leave us.
Our tough, proud guy we never had to worry about, taken suddenly. For you, my love I'm sure it was not soon enough, with a herniated/burst disk that left you unable
to walk within 5 days time.
I am so sorry you had to endure the pain that surely caused you. The stoic baby who would never acknowledge pain in any way, hid it so well that the vet said it was perhaps a pinched nerve and sent you home. X-rays two days later told a different story. We wanted to try to give you a chance to recover and took you home with more pain meds,
muscle relaxers, etc.
But, you made the decision for us 1-1/2 days later. Thank you for leaving no doubt that keeping you with us any longer would be for us, not for you.
I hope you heard me talking to you Roc, you were not alone. I will love and miss you until you hear me
say one more time......
Hello Roc'em, Momma's home
Always,
Me
