Kaleb The Dog
1992-2007

Yesterday she was a little sick. We thought she just had a tummy ache because she threw up a couple of times. This morning when I went to let her out, she didn’t want to get out of bed. She was lying in strange position. I picked her up and took her out but she couldn’t stand up. I worked with her but she could walk or stand up. It was then when she started to seizure. I grabbed her and ran upstairs yelling for Duncan. A minute later we were in the car on the way to the emergency vet. The vet, who was great by the way speculated on what it could be and our options. We knew what we had to do. I now know why they call it putting them to sleep. She explained what would happen. All was calm and she was gone, the whole while we petted her. She fell asleep.

I was 27 when I got this dog. I’m 42 now. She’s seen me through a lot and I’ll never forget this dog that was such a substantial part of my life. She was my buddy.
