So Long Our Friend




     We put Gus down on April 14th after he had a bad week with multiple seizures. After almost two years of trying to stabilize him we either had a very doped up dog, unable to function very well, or not enough drugs and seizures all the time. It was a no win situation for all three of us. I have always been crushed putting my dogs down in the past but this has been incredibly hard this time. My only hope is he is somewhere seizure free able to swim his brains out with no ill effects and also have his athletic and smarts back to 100% as it was at three years old. It took me one and a half weeks to write this but as the pain slowly subsides I can say if I was offered his life back in the sick stage I would refuse. Until we see you again, Good Night, Buddy Boy.
