The poison crept into him on Saturday, 11 October 2008, very soon after the exams.
At first, he was just lethargic, than he lost his appetite, followed by losing control of his hind legs. He trembled when he was brought to the doctor, he could barely get up onto the car. he looked weak. He was my best friend and always accompanied me, greeting me when I reached home. But he couldn't walk on monday, 13 October. An ambulance was called him to take him in. He had a fever of around 42 degrees and was put into a cold shower. He became BLIND. He could not see and had no reaction whatsoever when a white cotton wool was passed in front of his eyes. There was no response when he was called. then came the seizure. He had a spasm and it wasan awful sight. I cried.
The doctor said that he had a very slim chance of surviving. Alas, she was right. the poison had attacked his nerves, making him lose control of his own body. When we left him though, he still gave a valiant attempt to follow, but fell back down, with his hind legs at an oblique angle. I felt helpless, I wanted to help him, yet I couldn't. he was attached to a drip. It was a very depressing sight.
Then came 14 October 2008. He suffered from 3 seizures in a day. That was when we knew we had to save him from his pain. He was put down. He was cremated with others. I loved him. He was my dog, Prince.
I will forever miss him, his curious nature, his excitement for food, his love for taking walks.
No one will ever forget Prince.
I dedicate this blog to him.
.PLEASE SHUT UP.
