Well feel like jotting down a few things.
The happening of Buffy.
Yesterday was grooming day as he loves going there.
Normally pick him up at eleven.
So then went to the Racquet Club for my Tuesday Tai Chi
I was taking my time for did not want to go home and just sort of hung around.
Then time to go and get him.
Kim the groomer looked at me and saying that she could not get much done.
Why is that?
He would not stand up and kept lying down.
Now mind you I am doing any blame game.
But wished that she would have contact me to come and get him.
Could had some extra time with him.
When I got there he was out of it.
She carry the dog in the car and off I went to get Mike.
Had to wait a few minutes as I was getting sort of antsy as I left Buffy in the car.Told the woman at the booth there to page Mike as this is an emergency.
What yes,our dog is dying and need for you to page and get him.
Waited some and still not satisfy and went back to tell her again.


She said that he did not call back to find out what is going on.
Then try it again and keep trying this is an emergency.
Finally Mike came out to find out what is going on?
Buffy is not very well and we have to take him to the Vet now!
Okay,be right with you and said make it fast.
Not sure that Mike realized how serious this was.
He always tell me I am a big drama queen.LOL
Then we got him to the Vet.
They took X Ray and blood work.
Waited and finally the sad news came back.
She showed us the picture of a big mass in the stomach and the spleen was ruptured.
She had him on a I V to keep the fluid in him.
Then she went on to explain there is not that we can do.
He is not suffering.
I will give you guys some time to talk it over and visit with him.
I am a very emotional person and cried like a baby.
Mike is the opposite he does not but holds it in.
Told him that he got to let it out.
We visit chat cry etc.
Mike guess this is it.
We had him for 13 years and I know we had a lot of problems with him but worked out nicely for him to stay with us.
Knowing before hand that something was wrong with him.
Mike kept saying that he is healthy,healthy,etc.
Well I do not like the looks of his stomach.
Said that he is old.No,that is not it something is wrong.
He is losing weight.
Then again the drama queen which I can be.LOL
The final result
To put him down.
She came in to tell us what the procedure is .
She will sedated him first,wait then the final needle.
He will not feel a thing,may twitch here and there which is normal.
Then he slowly went off and the vet say you can stay and spend some time with him and when your done to let her know.
We did and finally let go.This was the hard part.
Today I came home from my game of tennis and no Buffy the house is empty.
More tears steaming on my face.
Inner voice-Fredo let it go.Cannot.
He is being cremated.
I sort of made a shrine for him.Will stayed there and the toys for now.
Least I can smell him.
Couple friends stopped by last night to give us their condolences.
When we get the ashes he will be buried in our yard next to his brother the first cocker that we had.
Do I want another pet.Not for now.
Will think about when we come back from our trip/
Going to have a Celebration of life for those who want to come.
Am I being silly?not.
Here is part of the Shrine and the couch is Buffy couch.
Well been having some problems with the photo dept. here.
This is not the first time that this is happening.
Will try to get it later.
