For all the people that responded to my post some days ago. thanks again for all your kind words
Some sort of tumor on his 6th neck vertebrae had almost disintegrated it. He would have been in to much pain even if he managed to heal it.
Our vet came home to us and helped him on his way. We were there the hole way and i felt his little heart stop.
We buried him in the front yard yesterday...this summer i will plant peas on his grave...he loved them
He was only 8 months old...we had him for 6 months
My heart is broken and i will never forget you Marley. I love you my little baby boy.
Edit:
Thank you all for your kind words❤️ i hope you all have a new year full of love and happiness
I'm sorry you had to learn this lesson in such a painful way, as this is why people advocate to ban breeders. "Purebred" is a myth and the dogs bred for those "desirable" looks are often so inbred that their family tree would resemble a circle.
Breeders are usually scummy and do not care about the long term health of the dog, as they are a means of making money and little more.
Absolutely. I'd also like to add that people who insist on a certain breed can usually find a great breed-specific rescue to work with. I also see lots of breeds you wouldn't expect pop up in shelters and all breed rescues. I wasn't expecting to get a "purebred" dog myself, but a German shepherd was transported to the shelter I was working at, and we fell in love. It usually requires more work than buying a dog, but the rewards for yourself, your community, and that dog's life make it all well worth it.
