our dog boo boo


by: jan on Mon, Jun 18 2007

we went to the humane society and pick out a golden retriever /husky he was beautiful calm and very nice. my two year old son fell in love with him. we paid the money and took him home.

when you adopt a dog there, they give you a free exam at a vet. we took him right away. he was diagnosed with distemper but we didnt give up. i took care of him day and night for months gave him antibiotics and found he liked peanut butter and would eat that more than anything else. he was the best dog i have ever had. he got sick again and died within two days of being sick that time. and my son who’s five now still misses him but if i had it to do all over again i still would. he was the greatest friend to our little boy and i really believe we did the best we could for him. the vet was surprised he lived as long as he did.
