I walked outside a while ago to look at my green swimming pool (thanks to all the rain
) and my choc. Lab followed me out to the pool as usual. The next thing I hear is him walking strange on the deck - turn around and he's having another seizure.
I rushed inside to get my husband to give him his medicine and ran back out to sit with him. He looked so sad, & pathetic and I felt so helpless.
I can't stand to see him like this. Our son (5 yrs old) came out to help comfort him and he whispers to him, "It's ok Guido. Me, you, mom & dad stick together like peanut butter and jelly." He's such a soft hearted boy.
Made me cry even more.
I just don't know what to do with poor Guido. He had a cancerous tumor removed last summer and we were told that they couldn't get all of it so it will grow back.
Then having epilepsy (sp?), he just breaks my heart. I know that the time is nearing that we will have to put him down but I just don't want to think about it. How will I explain this to our son? Guido was there to great us when we brought him home from the hospital. Those 2 are attached at the hip, Guido is like his big brother - he keeps him out of trouble and away from danger. This is killing me. I can't stand to see him like this but right now, the vet has told us that we should have about 6 months to a year left with him.
I'm trying to enjoy our time with him but at the same time prepare myself mentally for the future. This is not just a dog to us, my husband and I call him our first born.
Well, I've done enough yapping...just needed to let it out. Thanks for listening.
