Arrival Story:
I adopted Indy from the Nebraska Humane Society in May 2005. He was surrendered to them by his previous owners who had not taken care of him and let him develop heartworm. He was sick and underweight, but his big, brown eyes still melted my heart and I knew we were destined to be together. I needed help in naming him, so about 60 people voted on his name. Indy came in first - but there was a three-way tie for second: Potus, Sam and Sid, followed by Topher, Obi-Won and Herbie.
Bio:
Indy left us for heaven on the afternoon of June 9th, 2005. He was only in our lives for a very short time, but we loved him like he'd been in the family forever. We will miss his wagging tail, his puppy kisses and his soft, pettable fur. I only pray that one day we meet again where we can run and play forever.
Forums Motto:
Born to lick.

I am sorry to write that Indy passed away this afternoon. It was a very tough decision, but he was growing weary of the efforts from the vets to reverse the effects of the drug allergy. I sped down to Manhattan late last night after they called to say he wasn't doing so well. When I arrived he was a bit better and he had tail wags and kisses for me. My mother and aunt arrived early this morning to help me deal with things. This morning we met with several vets and were told they could keep trying other drugs, but that different issues would arise from them. I didn't want to think that Indy wasn't coming home with me, but I had to let him go. I know it was best, but I am brokenhearted that I couldn't save him and show him all the love he deserved his whole life. Just one month, not enough time to shower him with affection. I am so sad. My only consolation is that he's up in heaven playing with my other dogs: Pepper, Frito and JJ. God bless you Indy for loving me and trying to mend my broken heart.

Just got off the phone with the vet - Indy's breathing is getting worse and they aren't sure why. He was okay this morning - eating and drinking. Tricia said he just seemed a little down, so she was going to try to cheer him up.I'm having a hard time accepting another step back after all his improvements over the last few days. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

The calls yesterday were all positive. Indy is feeling and breathing better. He's handing out puppy kisses and tail wags to all the vets. His x-rays came back looking better and I think that perked up everyone who's working with him. I'm going down to visit him in a day or so to keep him motivated to come home, which I hope will be soon.
