It's 4:00am when I heard my phone ring. I knew it wasn't going to be a good day. I heard nothing except for my screaming sister who is 35 weeks pregnant on the other line. I couldn't make out a word she was saying.
I dropped the call and ran over. We are neighbors and we shared a fence.
Our dear Bruno - my sister's almost 6Bruno woul year old English Bulldog has just pased on. Bruno went in peace sometime around the 2:30am - 3:30am hour. No one knew. And Bruno would have a birthday in a couple of weeks.
Prior to that, I had received another phone call just past midnight that Bruno vomitted blood. My brother-in-law called the vet and said it's most likely heat exhaustion. Bruno needs to be monitored, needs alot of fluid.
We didn't expect Bruno to leave us so soon.
I am very sad today. An emotional wreck.
It's also my birthday weekend and last year, I celebrated it with a local agent stabbing me on my blog. This year, with Bruno's passing. I rather re-live last year's birthday over and over again if I could bring Bruno back.
Bruno was a survivor. Almost 2 years ago, Bruno almost left us - at that time because he had a twisted spline. But after surgery and expensive medical treatment, Bruno came back to us.
Bruno was a given name by me. My sister loved it and felt it was just a perfect name for our English Bulldog.
Now, Bruno is in doggie heaven with my Maxx - the Basset. Maxx left me 2 years ago and I'm still mourning his loss. Today, my heart is heavy again.
Bruno, I love you and I will miss you. Go play with Maxx now.
