RIP - Moxie

[dakski]

Not a great start to the new year. We lost our baby boy, our 13 year-old Morkie, Moxie, tonight 1-1-2022.

He had a tumor in his heart that ruptured (forgive me forgetting the technical term right now). He was fine at 8PM, had dinner and was happy and running around. At 9:15 I noticed he wasn't breathing well and was laying on the cold bathroom floor. He wouldn't take a treat and was visibly distressed.

Katie and I took him the ER Vet at 9:30PM and they said he would be dead soon unless we either put him down, or put him through hell for a very small chance of buying him a little time. We felt G-d was asking him to cross the Rainbow Bridge and we let him go gracefully and euthanized him.

I am tears writing this and don't know what to say. Tyler, his buddy, and our 14 year old Schnoodle is quite distressed as is Sam the Shi Tzu. Tyler let out a huge yelp and whine and cried when we came home without Moxie. We feel you, Tyler.

Moxie has been my buddy for 5 1/2 years and Katie's for 11. Still he accepted me immediately as part of the pack and was my cuddle bug, often sleeping either on my pillow or "his" right behind mine where the bed meets the wall.

This doesn't seem fair and happened so fast. We are still processing. Still, I wanted to share with the forum.

RIP my sweet, sweet, cuddle bug.

Moxie, you will be greatly missed.
