Mac's Choice T-Bone

[JoJo]

My wonderful big beautiful boy has joined all his furbaby friends at the bridge at 5:45pm this evening. He was our sunshine of our lives. We only had him for 5 months and we bonded so well. Tbone had an enlarged heart which we only found out 3 days ago. He was put on water pills to get the water out of his chest cavity which was surrounding his heart. Today I took him back for a progress report and found that the water was increasing and his heart was already going into arrest. The vet said that he had only about 2 days to a week to live. I made the decision to put him down. It was the hardest decision of my life. I stayed with him with his head in my lap saying my goodbyes. His binky (his favorite toy) was with him also. My dear sweet Vet felt so bad. He felt he let us down. We also believe that there was more wrong with him as he always had stomache problems. I am having an autopsy done and will know more in a few hours. I'm hoping that whatever results are found, that my Tbone will not have died in vain and hopefully will help some other dog live a long life.

Tbone my big boy, my snarly boy I will miss your smiles that you always greeted me with. You will always live in our hearts. I miss you. Be waiting for me at the bridge for I will be there someday. My heart is heavy, my tears can't stop. Your short life will always be good memories. I love you.
