Kidney Disease In Dogs

I had the most handsome, brilliant, and loyal animal in my life for 11.5 years. his name was DOG and he was my little boy. I called him all sorts of things like Sickle nickle, bone head, boney, baby bo, poppy nugget, little little, and the list goes on. His name changed weekly. But he kept me from being alone many, many nights, and days. He was very attached to me and never wanted me out of his sight. He would watch me go into a store and sit in the drivers seat waiting to see me walking back out. One time I tied him up outside of Marshalls clothing store and went inside to shop. He chewed right through his vinyl leash like a razor and instead of running off to explore for himself, he came straight into the store and way in the back corner where i was knelt down looking at items and found me. He just looked at me like there you are mom. I was a little embarrassed at first, but then people were asking me if he was my dog and thought it was cute that he came in with a mission only to find me. He is the purest experience of real genuine love I have ever had. I was his entire world, his family, his friend, his master, and he knew every word I said. He was extremely friendly to people and other animals. Well, he liked to chase fast moving things like flies, cats (if they ran), and would even chomp at traffic passing by on two lane freeways (once for small cars and twice for big white trucks).
I held his little paw and gently stroked his beautiful little head as the vet gave him the injection that ended his life on January 28, 2012. I told him repeatedly that I loved him so much and he was my boy, my baby boy, and he was going to be ok, everything was going to be fine, i love you so much Doggy. I never saw the life leave his eyes. I miss him so much. He should be here with me but I would never make him suffer through a painful disease for my own selfish reasons. Love with all your heart and the real love will be returned. And one more thing, always enjoy it when its good because you never know when life will change forever.
