OH.........my sweet sweet "Billy"!!!

"Billy" came to me at 5 months old as a "show puppy" but arrived with only one testicle!! I took him to two different fertility specialists and started hormone shots but after 2 months........ NOTHING, so the breeder refunded me down to PET price! Then, "Billy" had to have ENTROPION surgery and at that time I also had him neutered.......so, NO SHOW DOG!!! He then started limping on his right front, so I took him to an orthopedic specialist, had him x-rayed and at 9 months of age "Billy" was diagnosed with OCD in his right shoulder and arthritis had already set in!! I started him on a series of 8 ADEQUAN shots which helped and also started giving SYNOVI, which I've included a link for all to learn about!!! At around 3 years of age "Billy" started losing his coat, so I took him to a Dermatolgist and after spending $2000 I discovered MELATONIN; talked with the Dermatologist, started him on it and about 6 months later LOTSA HAIR!!! So, apparently as the Dermatologist said it was "hormonal" and MELATONIN worked!! "Billy" is now 6 years old........and I will share some favorite pictures of him!!

GOOD-BYE "Billy"
11/18/'99~~~~~~12/09/'06

When days are sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong

I seem to hear you whisper

~~~Cheer up and carry on~~~~~

Every time I see your picture

You smile and seem to say,

Don't cry, I'm only sleeping

We'll meet again someday.

You gave no one a last farewell,

nor ever said good-bye.

You were gone before I knew it

And no one even knows why.

A million times I will miss you.

A million times I will cry.

If love alone could have saved you

You never would've died.

In life I loved you dearly,

In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place

that no one else can ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you

But you didn't go alone

For part of me went with you

And I will never be the same again.

"KOOL" on his one year BIRTHDAY!!

TOO "KOOL"...........

that's what I think of when I think of "KOOL"! "KOOL" was 9 months old when he was GIVEN to me by his breeder as she wanted him in the best home possible as he is BLIND in his left eye. I take him monthly to an eye specialist to have the "eye pressure" checked..... so far so good!!! "KOOL" has adjusted beautifully in my home and gets along very well with limited vision!!

ENJOY some "KOOL" pictures!
