White Shepherd mom Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I have lost my buddy, my reason for getting up in the morning and my reason for rushing home after work every day. My joy, my shadow, my angel. I miss his big smile, his strength, his love for life, the kisses he'd let me plant on his forehead, the big bear hugs I'd steal when he wasn't expecting them, the beautiful eyes that followed me around. In the last 4 months, he needed a doggy wheelchair to get around. He took to it instantly and once again I had to run to keep up with him. Everybody stopped to pat him and talk to him, he has left such a huge hole. When he was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy in 2010, I was told most dogs are paralysed within 6-18 months. He made it to almost 4 years. Old age and the DM had to gang up on him to take him. I miss you my big boy but Bella has been on her own too long and she needed you with her. I hope you are both chasing birds and pouncing on lizards together again. Wait for me. Edited September 30, 2014 by White Shepherd mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Shepherd mom Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks guys, he was definitely very loved. If love was enough to keep him here, he would have lived until my heart stopped beating. Panto, on Casper's last day, my vet told me that we kept him going long after most people would have euthanised. He said most people wouldn't have bothered with the wheelchair and would have given up when things got too hard. Your girl is so lucky to have you and I hope she gets a lot of mileage out of her wheels. I hope she's a fighter because I know you won't give up on her.
