I have seen almost 40 years on this Earth. In those years , i have seen some great things, and some things that almost shame me to be part of the Human Race.
There are those things that have been a steady, unconditional part of my life, My beautiful wife and Two Awesome Children(who also share in my Fishing Addiction/Obsession )--Kids , not wife.
Then there is my buddy Rebel. A Yellow Labrador born in 2004. This guy loved all of us more than i can begin to express. He never needed a leash .
He was a member of our family.
He swam like a fish. He would swim for hours in our lake . It was
His "Heaven "
Two weeks ago (he was 9 and 1/2 years ) i called in my dogs from the yard.
Only my Six year old Female came running. His Sister.
I went out to find him and when i did I knew something was wrong, he looked Dazed and could barely walk. Next day he had a major seizure in front of the family .
We have been treating him with seizure medicine , and ran all tests. Everything else pointed to a healthy Dog .
Last night I got a call from the Wife and screaming kids that he passed.
My vet said it had to be brain cancer. Im crying right now typing this, as I dont feel like speaking with any one right now . I hope this helps ease some of my pain . This may not be the right forum, but you guys feel like an extended family. Thanks for listening . I know alot of other members have the love of Dogs in common with me, as well as Passion for fishing....
Till I see you again Rebel....Tight Lines Everyone...
Tim
