Okay a bit of a “story time”.
My stepdad went out of town for work, he’s several hours away, it’s his dogs, a mother and son duo, Stina and Snickers.
His niece wanted to spend some time with them so he brought them there when he was going out of town, nothing out of the ordinary.
Apparently Snickers was sluggish yesterday (Wednesday), same day he and his momma got dropped off at my stepdad’s brother’s place.
Sometimes he was a bit sassy when it came to going on walks, he hates rain and straight up refuses to walk outside when it’s raining. He acted like the world was ending when I was gonna go out with him and Stina, but once we were outside everything was just fine. He was a really special dog. When he ran it literally looked like a miniature horse was trotting past me, he always looked so derpy and funny.
Anyway, back to what happened. My stepdad’s brother was sitting with Snickers last night (Wednesday night-Thursday very early morning). Snickers was really sluggish, didn’t pee or poop at all, he was just there. Then all of a sudden he just stopped breathing. And there was nothing my stepdad’s brother could do.
So my mom got the call when we were at the store, she looked so shocked, after the call I asked if Stina had passed (she’s almost 16), and she just said “no, Snickers passed tonight.” She looked so extremely confused and shocked, and I did too.
Now we’re on our way to pick him up, my stepdad’s niece is keeping Stina till tomorrow I believe.
Then we’re going back into the city to leave him at a vet so he can get cremated. I kinda want a vet to see if they can see why he passed, I don’t know what it’s called in English, sorry. But he was uninsured, my stepdad’s ex handled the insurance on him but when they broke up she didn’t move the insurance to my stepdad, and she never payed either.
He was just 9-10 years old, he should still be here, begging for food at the table, being his derpy little self.
We just don’t know what happened to him, why he passed so suddenly, it just feels so surreal.
