Sparky ( January 27, 2002 - May 24, 2016 )
I lost a family member today. But heaven gained a new fluffy sweetheart.
He had been having trouble walking for a few months, and really, it was only getting worse and worse. He's been suffering from congestive heart failure for a few years. He's had many small strokes, which were just absolutely painful to witness, and even more so painful for him to endure, I'm sure.
This little scruffy, fuzzbutt was my birthday gift when I turned 5. I hand picked the runt of a litter of shih tzus because he just stole my heart. Small cuties just do that to me. Now several years later, right now, I'm heartbroken without him.
He was spoiled rotten until his last breath, treated like a little king. I know we were all getting grouchy at the end, he wouldn't let us sleep at night, and we did the best we could to manage but it became to stressful to watch him struggle to get up and walk. He'd just lay and pee himself.. it's been time to put him down. But I can tell you with confidence, this dog was never truly unhappy. You could just look at him and he'd start wagging his fluffy little tail.
Truly, I'll miss waking up at 2 A.M. every morning to take him outside to potty. I'll miss his whines for attention. I'll miss every little annoying thing he's ever done. But I love this dog so much, I'd never be able to describe how deeply.
Till we meet again, Sparky.. be a good boy for me.

I can only imagine... Me and my fiancee recently lost her family dog that she knew since she was 11-12. She was like a best friend to us both and couldn't stay mad at her either. Also seeing Sparky's happy face in this photo shows how much you cared for him and how happy he was to be with you.
I think he was actually about to yawn when I was taking that. Cause he was just so bored of me. Lol. The timing was fantastic, because it does look like a real big smile. Sparky had been with me for 14 years, initially, we grew older and grouchier together, sometimes he was that younger brother I never wanted, but most of the time, he was my favorite little cuddlebug.
But regardless, I'm also sorry for your guys' loss! :c It hurts to lose anyone, and even more so if it's a little best furball of a friend.
