PRAYER FOR MY PUPPY
Well, he isn't quite a puppy, he's almost 10 years old. He's actaully one month shy of being 10. I'm talking about my Shar Pei. Maverick has an appointment, with the vet this evening at 5:15. P.M. His health has slowly declined, over the past month. Over the last two weeks, he's quit drinking and eating. I've been using a trukey baster to feed and hydrate him. I hope that this isn't the end. He's been a wonderful friend and companion. Although, in the life span of Shar Pei's, he's outlived his expectency. They only live to be around six years old. I've had atleast two sleepless nights worrying about him. Hoping that I didn't have to make "the decesion" this evening. I even went over the possibilities, with my son over dinner yesterday. You see, he was a Birthday present for my son's second Birthday. Again, my son will be 12 in March.
I knew a long time ago, that this day would come. I just hope that, it's not finally here. I explained to my son that, it's ok to cry and be sad. I just didn't want him to do it, for a long time. He's already asked for another dog. I said, we're not even going to talk like that. You can never fully replace a beloved pet. New pets serve only as a destraction, then you grow to love them as well. Here's my plea to all of you animal lovers. Just pry that, whatever decision that I have to make today will go smoothly. Thank ya'll. God Bless.
