I lost Nino on October 2nd 2019. He was 14.5. He loved life and he was my very best friend. I had really never thought about him passing because he was so full of energy. It came on suddenly one night he was coughing non stop and I rushed him to the emergency vet. They placed in him oxygen. He had a collapsed trachea, pulmonary Herat disease and conjunctive heart failure. They got him stable enough to go home 4 days later. The wanted to continue more tests but I wanted him home. I had a feeling he needed to be with me. He didn’t do too well and had such trouble breathing. He had not eaten in 5 days and he couldn’t even drink his water. My poor baby bear. I called my local vet and spoke to her at length she reviewed everything from the emergency vet and advised me it may be his time. This was one of the absolute hardest things I’ve had to do in my life. I was not going to keep him alive for my own selfish reasons when he could hardly breathe. He loved laying in the sun, long walks, swimming in the ocean and sleeping in with me. He didn’t cuddle but I’d always find him right next to me when I’d wake up in the middle of the night and he did cuddle for one to two minutes sometimes which made it so special. He traveled everywhere with me, airplane trips at least once a month and he always was so well behaved. I’m struggling now and it’s sometimes so hard to breathe. I just know he’s in Heaven with God and I’ll see him again when it’s my time. I feel so blessed I was so lucky to have him in my life. I love you Nino, my Angel Bear Forever. 💞💞💞
