Sadly, on July 17th, 2010, I lost my baby boy. I was out of town and got a phone call from my husband saying he was gone. My daughter had let all of our dogs out and, while they were outside, Morpheus got stung or bitten by something. He went into anaphylactic shock and, on the way to the emergency vet, he stopped breathing. Despite my daughter trying to give him nose-to-mouth and then the vets trying to bring him back, it was too late. Because of the shock, his body couldn't take the FL heat and his organs started shutting down. They said that, even if they were able to revive him, he would be severely brain damaged and not the dog we loved.
It has been an emotionally difficult week for me. I cry myself to sleep most nights. He was like a child to me and he was taken so suddenly. I never got a chance to hold him again or say goodbye.
RIP, baby boy. I pray that we will meet again some day.
