There has been much crying since his passing...we lost him on the 18th...

He had an enlarged heart and was on many medications for it. Me and my mother had come home and he greeted us with a yodel bark as he usually does, his tail wagging so hard his whole body swayed back and forth. He was always smiling. I went to work on something for my mom while my grandmother decided to take the dogs out to pee. All of a sudden my grandmother is yelling as is my mom and I rush outside. Odie had collapsed in the yard. I ran down the steps calling his name and his ear perked just slightly but other then that he didn't budge. I checked and he was still breathing but barely. I lifted him up and he was limp. We ran him into the house and put him on the couch and he was convulsing while I held him. Grama tried to call the vets when I told my mom we needed to take him now. We grabbed a towel and rushed him to the car.

He was gone before we left the house but we still rushed there. They confirmed that he had passed. They said he wasn't in pain when he went, and that most likely he got excited and it was just a bit to much for his little heart. Upon examination he also had a mass in his stomach that was the size of a soft ball. None of use could bear the thought of having to bury him, so as a family we decided that cremation would be best for him. While coming back to the house we decided that he should have his beloved squirrel with him. So we drove back to give him his squirrel. All of us, my brother, sister, mother, grandmother, and were sobbing. We all keep thinking about him and how quiet the house is without his presence.

Tomorrow...we go in to pick up his ashes and urn...and even as I type this tears are streaming down my face. This dog had so much personality and loved everyone so much. If he just met you...he would get upset when you went to leave. He was very smart and even did a few tricks. If you were sad he would come try to make you happy. He would check on everyone in the house and would yodel bark. From what I have been dealing with earlier this year, he was a huge help as he never judged anyone and just wanted people to be happy. He was so eager to please too. He'd bring you his favorite toy so you could pet him and call him a good boy.

I miss my dog...I miss my Odie...I miss my companion...I miss my friend...
So much has been going wrong this year, I have lost much...and now I have lost a dear friend as well...
