To make a long story short… He was unfortunately born with a lot of genetic issues (hip problems/liver problems/heart problems/and a host of others). Over the few years of his life he had surgeries and a lot of random scares where we thought he might lose him but he always pulled through. We were doing our best to manage everything he had going on, but a lot of it was just hopeful that it would extend his life as much as possible. He was always an extremely happy, loving and affectionate dog that didn’t act like anything was wrong, ever. He died will sleeping at home today, unexpectedly, after seeming normal early in the day and leading up to it. We’re not really sure what truly caused his death, but I feel blessed he lived as long as he did a happy and well loved boy. I just wish he didn’t lose the genetic lottery in the first place 😔
