Another gone too soon, this sucks!
I never thought that I would be writing this for at least several more years. Today after many hours of fighting for his life, we lost our "Turk". He was just 4 yrs 8 months but became very ill vomiting during the night, he was bloating. He came through surgery okay this morning but never awoke. He had a heartbeat but wasn't breathing on his own. Between me and a tech. we kept breathing for him.Thinking a transfusion would help, he lost alot of blood in surgery, we brought Meadow over to see if she would be a match. She was and we used her to try to save him but an hour after the transfusion he gave up and his heart stopped. We are heart broken. Turk was our first flattie. He was not a good performance dog but was a great family dog. He always had a toy in his mouth but quick to drop it to give you a lick. We were very lucky that Turk was an extremely welll behaved boy. He never destroyed anything,even when the kids left toys lying around. I don't know what else to say. It's been a long painful day and all we have are memories now. The kids are having a hard time with this and to be honest, so am I. There is a storm coming and I can't help thinking how much he hated thunderstorms.
We love you "Turbo" Rest in Peace

(this is one of my favorite pictures of Turk-he was about 6 mos. old. It took me about a half hour to get the tennis racket back!)
