So I lost my puppy a few days ago. I had only had him about a week. But after four days I found out he had Parvo. For those of you who do not know what Parvo is- it is a virus that affects the intestines in dogs. It slowly eats away the lining- affectingly killing the defenseless dog. It is very common, highly contagious and has about a fifty percent survival rate. My poor Kratos did not make it. He went to the vet on a Wednesday and they were very hopeful because he was alert, drinking water and in decent weight. But just three days later his ten week old body shut down and gave into the disease. It was heart breaking and I cried for hours straight. I don't know how he had worked his way into my heart after a week, but i love him dearly. To watch him waste away like that and so fast... i just... I just broke down.
Please cherish the ones you love. Whether it be a human or beloved family pet. We never know how long we have with them. If it's seventy years, seventeen years, seven years or seven days... it never seems to be enough.
I miss you Kratos!
