He's always been here for me... Anytime I was sick or upset he is always there to comfort me...
He's like me in so many ways... he loves to sleep, and when he does he snores.... when he's in a good mood he loves to cuddle but when he's in a bad mood he just wants to be left alone... and if you don't leave him alone he will probably snap at you... not much affects his appetite... when he doesn't feel good his mom (me) is always there to comfort him... he has hard to manage hair and wakes up with bed head every day....
Mossimo has been a pretty healthy dog for the most part... I has the ear infections that Shi Tzus have and has had skin problems due to allergies... In the last year or two his skin has gotten much better... Back in November of last year we had a major scare... The Saturday after Thanksgiving he had a large abscess rupture... We hurried him to the vet late in the night and they fixed him up... it was kinda hit and miss for a couple of days but he pulled through with flying colors and was healthy as ever within a couple of weeks... Back in July of this year he came down with a respiratory infection... he's been on medicine ever since... they just haven't been able to get rid of the infection 100%... He has however been the happiest and most playful he's been in years... it's so good to see him run around.... Last week his pills ran out and I took him to the vet when he started coughing and wheezing... I thought it was going to be the same routine as the last could of times... he got more medicine and chest x-rays... The doctor said the infection was getting better, just not completely gone yet... I brought him home and he really hasn't bounced back... he's been coughing and wheezing ever since... I've stayed up with him and taken care of him all night, every night for the last week... Last night he wasn't sleeping well and his wheeze was getting worse and he coughed more... then about 3am he had a seizure... it lasted about 30 seconds... when he finally came to he was weak and went straight to sleep... after a couple of hours of sleep (none for me) he woke up and seemed better.... I wasn't going to go to work so I could take care of him and get him to the vet but I had to go in... My mom and dad agreed to come get him from my house and take him to the vet.... Things looked pretty good at the vet until they released him to go home... on the way to the car he had another seizure... they have decided to keep him over night for observation...
I know he's old and I know he's had a great life... I just don't want to let him go... how do you let a best friend go??? I know I may have to though... I don't want him to be in pain or suffer... I just want him to be happy... and I wish that meant he could come home and be the dog I love so much... unfortunately I have this gut renching feeling that probably isn't going to happen.... Please God, be with my baby and watch over him....
