June 13, 2005 – Jan. 9, 2017
He was my special boy. I waited a very long time to get a Tibetan Terrier puppy & he was wonderful. A fun-loving happy boy who always wanted to be with is mom. He was the apple of his grandma’s eye. He competed in agility, obedience & rally and was quite the character in the ring.
He loved going for walks & cuddling!! His grandma passed suddenly in July, 2016 and a few short months later ( October, 2016) he was not feeling well. After taking him to a vet that said it was just intestinal parasites, I took him to PVSEC the following day, I was not comfortable & knew something was wrong. He had emergency surgery for a bleeding mass, which histopathology showed was Hemangiosarcoma. I took him to OSU & started chemotherapy & continued it in Pittsburgh at PVSEC. In December at his restaging they told me had some regrowth & lymph node involvement & changed his protocol. Through it all he went for walks, played & had a great Christmas unwrapping his many gifts. He even continued to go to rally & agility shows as long as his white cells were ok.
Unfortunately, the weekend of Jan. 8th he did not eat well & seemed slightly tired. I took him to PVSEC on the 9th when he stopped eating & the ultrasound showed he was now full of Hemangiosarcoma & it was pressing on his ureter, he was very uncomfortable & was given only a few days. I knew that he needed to go see his grandma & made the difficult decision to let him go that day. He passed peacefully in my arms & is dearly missed.
……. Love always Mary
