Our precious little scottie boy died today. This was very sudden. Kenny had been under the weather for the last few days, but he was eating his hamburger/rice combo and drinking water. It started out with diarrhea on Thursday - no blood and he was getting better yesterday and today. His nose was cool and his breathing was not labored - an indication of pain. Kenny also was not vomiting. He even ran outside to bark at the generator kicking on yesterday during its test run. Since he was feeling better, I gave him a mini bath this morning to help wash off his butt. In typical Kenny style, he put up a good fight (he HATES baths). After his bath, I knew I wanted to clean the area rug in the family room so I put him and the girls into their crates. I cleaned the carpet and left them in their crates for a few hours while the carpet dried. Late this afternoon I went to go let them out and that is when I found out that Kenny had died.
I want to thank the Scottish Terrier Club of Michigan that allowed us to adopt Kenny through their rescue program in September 2004. From the first day Kenny came into our family, he fit in perfectly. Austin and Kenny grew up with each other and were buds. We all have been taking this hard, especially Austin and Emily.
Till we meet again my sweet boy!!
