We raised Havanese dogs, little dogs, for a lot of years. We stopped a few years back and settles in to not having any animal responsibilities for a few months, until we received a phone call from a couple that we placed a black little boy, 6 years before.
The lady said if we didn't take him back, the next day they were going to have the vet put him down because he was hurting their marriage. He loved the man, but barked at the lady. He didn't like her and this had lasted 6 years. We of course said we'd take him back. Cuddles was his name and I loved him so much, but he barked at my wife like he did at the other lady. At first he didn't trust either of us, but he naturally took to me. I held him often and he'd look into my eyes with such trust like he knew I'd always protect him.
He was sick this week and we took him to the vet. Dehydration and anemia. The vet gave him an IV for a while and sent him home with a vitamin B mixture. It worked, for a couple of days. He was his old self, barking at my wife and nudging me to get held. I held him most of the night last night and rubbed his belly. Today he was lethargic again and had a seizure, bleeding from his mouth. Cuddles died in my arms. I am devastated.
Remember to hug your dog or kitty extra close tonight, cuz you never know how long you have them.
