Guest Furmama Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have no idea how I am able to write this now but all I can say is I am numb and can barely see through the tears. It turns out our precious boy had a tumor on his heart that was slowly bleeding into his chest cavity and this evening it ruptured. It was sitting on the couch and his breathing started to become labored and he was frothing at the mouth. I tried to get him off the couch back into his bed and he could not stand at all, he fell onto Dancer and collapsed. I screamed for Kirk and we rushed him to the Vet and they stayed open to wait for us. It merely took an hour to X-rayand biopsyto get the diagnosis that it was fatal, his entire chest cavity was filled with blood compressing his heart and lungs. My sweet sweet boy was suffering terribley. I cannot believe we had to make that decision, why couldn't God have taken him "naturally". We held his paws and stroked and kissed him while he went to sleep. I walked home all by myself from the Vets in a daze... I do not even remember arriving home. Bomber, we had you for over 2 years and it was the brightest 2 years of my life. I went to GRA to "look" to adopt a little female and there was NO WAY you were letting me out of that kennel without you. You rattled and rolled int that crate to get my attention and I said "hey Bill, how about that one, he looks cute". I came outside with you to Daddy and Krissy and Daddy laffed at me and said "are u sure there are no bigger ones in there?" You were a big strapping boy but you stole my heart that day and the rest is history. Even though you ate almost all of our wood furniture and we now have rounded corners on all our stuff, I grew to love you more than I ever thought possible. Even after the second day when you jumped up on mommy & daddy's bed and peed on mommy's side to show me YOU were the boss!! I was a tough sell after all your destructive behaviour, but you made me love you... your big huge brown eyes and your velvet ears that mommy loved to stroke. You made me love you. I love you Bomber and I always will. I hope you heard mommy & daddy telling you how much we love you as you fell asleep. Run free my angel boy, we will meet again I promise. Mommy is sad right now but I know you loved me too so I will get better soon OK?? Be a good boy and play nice with all the angel kids at the Bridge .... Goodbye & goodnight my sweetheart.
