So I took my dogs out like usual before work and there were some dogs in the retention area so we went and played with them. Spike was totally fine...running. playing. the usual. APPARENTLY when my p's got home from work Spike was slow and not himself...so they took him to an emergency animal hospital after dinner. They ran tests and everything was fine. X-rays, blood work...they did find some liquid in his abdomen/stomach that was pink that they were concerned about. Meanwhile...I'm at work not knowing any of this is going on. The hospital said they would keep him overnight to make sure they couldnt find anything else, and before my parents left the hospital he DIED. no warning. nothing. the doctors did say he didnt look good and to say goodbye before they left and literally after they left the room he just died. Of course I see that my dad called as soon as I get out of work and he tells me to come to some random place and I ask what happened and he told me. I thought he was joking at first, but no. So i drove to the animal hospital to say goodbye and that was it. No one saw it coming and it's so sad. I'm sure Brandy will be lost without him. I've never had a pet like him die before. Maybe my guinea pig Cindy back sophomore year of h.s. She was pretty smart and could open her cage by herself, but no dog will ever be the same as Spikey. He was so smart and even though i annoyed the hell out of him, know he loved it.
Spikey...you will be missed. <3
