I rescued this little pooch 7 years ago from a small little cage at the Humane Society.
We have moved together 6 times, in 2 different states, and stuck together in our cross country adventures.
We are best buds, and he is my monkey.
But Scouty is half lab, and it's hereditry in labs to have seziure disorders.
and in the past years, his seziures seem to be closer and closer together.
and this my heart hurt SO bad.
As fur mommies we love our puppies,and Scout is no different than a child to me. He is my baby, and when his little sezuires happen, I feel so HELPLESS. My vet told me to just hold him and comfort him and tell him he is going to be okay, and that is always what I do.
Sometimes I have to get up and walk away, because it's just TOO much to see him in that state, so P always steps in and does the hard stuff for me.
but even after Scout recovers, he ALWAYS comes to comfort me and tell me "it's okay mom, I am okay!"
He is just the most perfect little pooch.
I just love this little furball, He is my heated blanket at night, my guard dog, my cuddle bug, he holds my favorite sloppy kisses, is the BEST comfy pillow, and has the biggest puppy dog heart.
I know hoping that he lives for hundreds of years to come is competely unrealistic, but please puppy gods, while he's here, make him as COMFORTABLE as possible.
He deserves it.
Hi Hallie, I recently found your blog and am loving it. Your post today just broke my heart and made me cry. I can't even imagine having to go through this. Sending lots of prayers your way!
ReplyDeleteOH Hallie! I didn't know that labs had seizures. Poor puppy! I hope the puppy gods keep him here as long as possible!
ReplyDeletePoor Scout! I have a lab mix who will be nine this summer, she hasnt had a seizure that I know of, but I do see her age taking its toll, I got a puppy three years ago and that gave her extra pep in her step... just a thought... I know alot of people who recommend getting puppies when their dogs are getting older to keep them young at heart longer.
ReplyDeleteHe looks just like my Belle... and sounds like just as great of a friend too!
Aw, this makes me cry! What a sweet mommy Scout has! I sure hope that his seizures get better, I know that must be so hard for you to see. Prayers for the little guy.
ReplyDeleteThis is breaking my heart for you, doll face!! I know how it is to think of your animals as children and I couldn't imagine being in your shoes. Sending prayers your way for comfort for you baby and peace for you!

Poor puppy... that is so sad. I hope he heals up quick! Sending prayers and hugs!
ReplyDelete:( What a sucky thing.
ReplyDeleteI had tears in my eyes while reading this! :( Sending love and puppy prayers your way!
ReplyDeleteUgh so sad. I think that puppies should live as long as we do with no health problems. Scout has a great mama.
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartbreaking. :( I can't imagine.
ReplyDeleteAwww...I love this so much. I call my babies my monkeys too and would hate to see them in that state. One of our dog's legs went out one night and I thought it was seizure and I was so distraught the entire night. I know it happens and the best thing to remember is that they don't know what's happening so that always makes me feel better. I hope Scout become the oldest living half lab out there! :) I am convinced my little guys will be the oldest shibas in the world. I can dream!

I know how hard it is. We had a toy fox terrier with seizure disorder. Broke my heart to watch her have an "episode" :/ it's not easy to be a mama of any kind. Kid or pet!
ReplyDeleteOh, this makes my heart hurt. But I am oh so thankful that you found each other! I was a mom to furbabies first, and we feel the same way-- they are our babies too. I can't imagine going through all of this, but I'm so glad he found such a loving home with someone who wouldn't just get rid of him for it. :( We've had a bumpy road with our dogs, but it's always little things, and that alone broke my heart each time. Hugs, hugs, hugs.
ReplyDeleteBut on a lighter note, can I just say I'm so happy to find your stinking cute blog? And I LOVE your design! Love it. Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up with us! Hope to see you again next time :)

i had no idea that it was more common for labs. my dog has had seizures sometimes and it kills me. i even saw a dog seizing at the vet, they didn't stay with him and it killed me i cried on the way home.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart! I die inside when something is wrong with my dogs. Scout sounds like a tough and loving guy. I hope he's comfortable while he's here enjoying his time with his favorite people.
ReplyDeleteAww, bless your heart, and his! What a wonderful mommy you are to be such a loving rescuer for him! I'm a fur momma, too, of an animal shelter doggy and they are the best. She has been there for me through everything, and I cherish her more than any other thing in this world.
