Last Wednesday I was having fun taping Mac for a project in Digital Media. Mac used the recycle bin like a toy box. He had a system of taking out a bottle, getting the cap off, then the ring, going after the paper, destroying the bottle, then moving on to the next one. Once in a while he would pick up his mess and put one back before taking another one. Not bad for a year old!
Here he is in action.
Thursday morning he got sick. He was vomiting up a large amount of pure white fluid. Friday he got worse, so we took him to the Vet. They took x-rays as we were wondering why he got so sick all of a sudden. So many thoughts, so many what if's, but the x-ray and blood work came back fine. He was given a shot to control the vomiting and medication to help clear him up.
Saturday we were back at the Vet's because he seemed worse, wasn't eating or drinking.
By this time the Vet thought it may be, Canine distemper but was not sure. We agreed he'd stay over the weekend so they could get more fluid into him and planned on picking him up yesterday.
Yesterday morning the Vet was on the phone telling us he couldn't walk anymore.
A lot of crying later, this morning he was put out of his misery. He just turned a year old last month. We only had him for five months. He gave us so much love in those five months that the pain of his loss is very hard to take.
