[stalinsdad]

Saturday started out like every other day. Stalin woke up earlly and wanted to go out and play. So i did the usual let him out to do his buisness while i got ready. when i got done and went to get him he was laying in the yard motionless. At first i wasnt to concerned he did this to me all the time, lay there completly still till i was about three steps away then jump up and come at me to play. So when i called him and he didnt move i thought it was his game. But as i got closer he didnt move, it was to late he had already past on when i got to him. he was only a year and a half old so it came as a huge suprise. The vet was not open on saturday so i was unable to take him in ta have them take a look, so i still am not sure what caused it. I dont think it was heat exhaustion, it was a breazy morning in the 60's. And i dont think it was poison, i have never had any complaints about him. So i am guessing it was natural causes or he was bit by something. I looked the body over and didnt see any bite marks, but that doesnt mean there were none. Anyway i have really taken it hard and blamed myself. that if i was faster maybe this wouldnt have happend. I guess i just wanted to put this down so that everyone knows how much Stalin meant to me. I never in a million years thought i would be without him this soon, it really was like loosing one of my kids.
