Farewell
3 years ago
Hello everyone it is with a heavy heart that i write here to say that our family pet is no longer with us. Before i go any further let me tell you about him, he came into our lives back in 2013 when one of our neighbours on the street behind us gave us to him. He was one of three dogs that were looking for a home because owner who who was the son of the neighbour died in a car accident. She gave him to us and have had him since. He was a border collie mix, we were never able to find out what the other breed was.
Over the past couple months he started to have tremors, wouldn't eat much and constantly wanted to go outside and stay out even at night which he never did before and he was already by that time deaf. We had no idea what was going on and it was very stressing.
About three weeks ago I guess my mom found a plant in our backyard and thought it was funny becuase the flowers on it would bud at night then close in the morning, a week passed and she noticed that it had grown three times it size was and joked that was like a Deadly Nightshade. A week later he appeared to be getting better and then my sister found out about the plant. It turned out that it was Jinsom Weed (Devils Snare, Devils Trumpet) and that it actually was part of the nightshade family and that it was poisonous to dogs and cats and that the symptoms of it matched his condition. It was immediatly cut down that same day and it was a relief that we found out about it. A little later he was still doing okay but then he started to feel those symptoms again. Today we talked to a vet and told him the symptoms and he said that it was most likely that he had brain cancer and that it may have spread to his nervous system, and there was nothing that could be done and he would only get worse. My mom didn't want to tell me cause she knew that it would be to upsetting, but I told her to tell me and she did. Unfortunatly i had to go to work so I had to say my goodbyes to him one last time.
So today at 4:30 a vet person came to the house and put him to sleep he was 13 and half years old. I was not there cause i was still at work. After work I got to see and feel his body one last time and then buried him in our backyard. It was extremely heartbreaking to see him one last time and then bury him. He was a such a great pet, friendly to everyone he met and would always be at your side. It was such a great blessing to have all that time together, no one could ask for a such a friend like that. He may be gone but he will always be remembered and loved. We thank the Lord for him and he is no longer suffering. To conclude here I would like to write the lyrics of a song, a little song that always brings a tear to my eye. The song itself was used in the latter and ending career of one of Americas Clowns Red Skelton at the end of each of his shows.
"The time has come to say goodnight, my how time has flied, we had a laugh perhaps a tear and now we here goodbye, I really hate to say goodnight for times like these are few, I wish you love and happiness in everything you do, the time has come to say goodnight and i hope i made a friend and so will say may God bless until we meet again.
I would prefer if there were no faves or spread of this entry and photo!
