Completely Heartbroken

When I woke up this morning I had no idea it would end this way. Today I lost a part of me that will never be replaced! Today I lost my friend, my buddy, my roll dog, my squirt! He was the bestest of good boys & made everyone smile! I love you Panda!!! We had 9 years of good times & made some amazing memories!! Gone but you will never be forgotten!!

I’m typically not a very emotional guy according to my wife. However today I’m a complete wreck. Panda was more than a family pet … he was my son. I know time will heal but this freaking hurts!!!

He was perfectly fine yesterday running around, stealing food if he could & just being his silly fun loving self. This morning he was moving very slowly, lethargically, & panting heavily. Called the vet & they said to rush him to the ER … so we put him in the car & I broke every damn speed limit along the way but I didn’t care. Literally 3 mins before we got to the ER he turns & just stared at me & I rubbed his head & told him everything’s gonna be ok.

However that wasn’t how things played out. He laid down after about 30 secs of staring at me & unfortunately I watched him take his last breath. The doctor said he potentially had a heart condition that went unnoticed during his normal visits & today his heart gave up!

If you have a furbaby please check & double check that the doctors thoroughly check them during visits! I don’t wish this on my worst enemies!
