Quick Bio:
Birthday:
April 10th 1995
Likes:
FOOD. ANYONE. (Except the mailman.) :-p
Pet-Peeves:
The Mailman, the mailman, the mailman. Need I say more? Cats. One clawed me and now I'm scared of them. And, when people won't leave me alone when I want to sleep. *big sigh*
Favorite Toy:
The wooley man-shaped toy with squeaker inside. I like just about anything that squeaks.
Favorite Food:
Anything that hits the floor! Are you kidding me? I'm not picky!
Favorite Walk:
Around the block, it's a nice secluded loop
Best Tricks:
Not barking, and, not barking. But, that doesn't stop me from snorting loudly at the door when the mailman strolls by!
Arrival Story:
I was originally brought home with a lady (Mama Dawn), and her now ex-husband, as a gift from the ex-husband. I hated him. I peed on his clothes, and tore up their wedding pictures. I had amazing foresight, and 6 months later, they thankfully divorced. Then Dawn moved home, and I came with her, and stayed at her parents' house. I enjoyed the back yard. It was nice and big. When Mama Dawn moved out, I didn't go with her. Her boyfriend at the time had a cat, and cats and I don't mix. In fact, now that she's married to this new guy, they have 3 cats. I could only envision the fun. But I still love her and her family nonetheless. I've stayed with their family for many years now, and I loved it here.
Bio:
I was a wonderful dog. I was known to my family as the human trapped in the dog body, as I had many human emotions. I always looked up and watched people talking, I always knew what they were talking about, I watched their every move. You couldn't teach me to stay though: That's not what terriers are for!
After a while, I was spoiled so much that I developed a weight problem. I went on a diet and discovered that it wasn't all fat... I had a large liposarcoma tumor that was evolving around my right shoulder. In January 2003, I went into surgery to get it removed. Surgery was successful, and I spent some time being tumor-free, as I rebounded with flying colors. However, in early 2005, It was discovered, that I had another tumor on my left elbow, and what appeared to be a cyst on my left inner thigh. I went in to get both removed. My worst fears were confirmed: Not only the "cyst" was an encapsulated tumor, but even worse: the tumor on my left elbow was a very agressive fibrosarcoma tumor, abcessed and tangled within my muscle. I didn't rebound as easily this time, as I failed to heal well, and faced a bad fever with infection. My owners took good care of me during the time, they tried the lampshade collar, which didn't work, and then settled on using one of their old teeshirts to keep me from scratching the wound. Around the clock, they watched me to keep me from scratching, giving me my daily pills, and keeping ice packs on my incision to numb and cool it. They fed me ice water. Within days, my aggressive fibrosarcoma tumor grew back, and my incision started splitting open.
Finally, all of us couldn't take it anymore, and I was put to sleep on June 20th, 2005. I'm no longer in pain.
Although my downfall was very saddening, I will always live in the hearts of those who love me. I will always visit them in my dreams, and I can sit and sigh (and snort laughing) in the heavens above, as I make fun of Petey for all the things he still hasn't learned yet.
