My first Child

Chanty turned 14 yesterday, and today we had to put him to sleep.This week was one of the worst weeks I thought could ever possibly exist. I miss him terribly. He was a great dog. He loved everything and everyone. He could sit in my lap for hours and just be cuddled. Such a loving big heart and so pretty. My first baby. He got sick over the weekend. He just stopped eating, and things went downhill from there. The doctors could not exactly say what the problem was, but knowing his history of skin problems, we were happy that he reached this age. It was so scary, and when it was all over, we realized the signs had been there for a long time. He spent most of his days sleeping. His eyesight had rapidly deteriorated in the last year, and he was not willing to take walks anymore. I blamed it on his stubbornness (not at all uncommon amongst this dog race).Well, Chanty I just wanted to say goodbye. I know you are in a better place, healthy and happy. I love you and miss you. Thank you for being such a great dog and a good friend.
