Toby Super Dog

With extreme sadness

This is the last entry in Toby's diary. Christmas day 2007 was the most wonderful day! The next night, on the 26th, Toby started acting like his stomach was upset, and I took him to the vet first thing on the 27th. She diagnosed him with prostrate trouble, and felt he had a cyst on his prostate, and recomended that it be removed. She was going to do the surgery that morning, but his blood work came back a little off, and she felt it would be best to wait until the next day, and give him IV anti biotics. That night, his prostate ruptured. Dr. Bailey did emergency surgery on him the morning of the 28th, and discovered that my beloved Toby had cancer in his prostate, bladder, and kidneys. It was the hardest thing I ever did having to tell her to tell him how much I loved him and to let him go... Needless to say, I will never be the same again. My life seems so empty as I'm writing this. I do thank God that my Toby did not suffer. His illness was very short and fast, and for that, I am so thankful. I am thankful for a caring and loving vet, and for a family that is there to support me. Trixie, Zoey, Hannah, Pump Jack, and Bailey are all very sad and confused. Please keep them in your thoughts. And Toby, wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge! We'll be there someday to get you, and it will be a wonderful reunion! I love you Tobus!

I'm back!

Hi everyone. Well I haven't written in my diary in a year! It's been a tough year on me and my mom, and my other doggie sibblings... :o( My buddy Beau went to the Rainbow bridge last August, and my mom has had a very hard time adjusting to life with out the little guy! We're going to be ok though. I did want to give everyone a warning though! You see, Beau was not doing anything wrong on the morning of August 29,2006. He was lying in the sun on a chair on our deck, just enjoying the day. He must have heard a noise or decided to chase a butterfly, because when he jumped off the chair his dog tag got hung up in the chair. He was a little guy,and not big enough to reach the ground. By the time my dad came back into the yard, it was too late for him to save Beau. PLEASE, please, please, don't leave hang down tags on your small dogs! My mom found us some cool little flat tags that just slide onto our collars. That way, if we get out or get lost, we have our information with us, but they won't get hung up on something! Well, I've missed ya'll! I'm glad to be back! Watch for my new little sister Trixie! She will have her sight up soon!
Woof!

I'm Back!

Hi all! I'm back from my camping trip! We had so much fun! Beau got to go too, and I was glad that he did, except that he kept barking at the other dogs in the RV park. I met a really nice dog named Murphy, and we had fun playing at the park. Beau didn't like playing, he just wanted to be a pain in my tail side! All in all though we had a good time, and it was great fun being there with my Mom and Dad! I loved riding around in the mountains with the windows down! It smelles ssssoooooooooooo good! The air was so fresh and clean after a rain, and the trees smelled so much better than the ones at our house!
Well, need to run, Dad is in his recliner, and has an empty lap. Guess I better go curl up and take a quick snooze before bedtime. Talk to you all later.
