Someone on another board that I belong to posted about this site and I am so glad that they did, it is wonderful to be able to come here and see people who have dogs and understand how you feel.
I wanna tell you about our beloved Sambo. He is pictured in my avitar.
We got Sambo in 1990, he was just a little puppy, and he was my daughters dog. We do not know what kind he was, he was just a little mutt.
Sambo had no idea he was a dog, and then when he thought he was a dog, he thought he was a very big dog.
Sambo had been sick with little thing through out his life. He had allergies, so he always wore clothes, so when he scratched a lot, he didn't make himself bleed. But he took Benadryl for his itching.
Sambo developed cateracts, and after a while he was blind, but he could still get around real good, in the last year or so of his life, he got fluid on his lungs, which we were treating with fluid pills.
Then he started getting real bad, and then one day last year he just quit eating, I tried cooking him all the foods that he loved to eat, and he just wouldn't eat nothing. My husband works offshore, so when he got home, he took him to our vet, and the vet told us that it looked like his little body was just shutting down. So we knew what we had to do, my husband stayed with him while the vet did what he had to do. I am so grateful for my husband, that was very important to me, I did not want Sambo to be in there all by himself.
Sambo was almost 16 years old when he went to the Bridge. There are days when I would give everything I own just to be able to hold him in my arms again. I think there are days when I would sell my soul to the devil. I miss him so much.
We do have another dog named Opie that found our home 5 years ago, we think that he had been abused by a man, because he was very scared of my husband at first.
I just wanted to let ya'll know how much I appreciate being able to come here, and let ya'll know about Sambo.
