I was thinking about Hiro today while walking Dori. Wondering when I will actually update my blog and inform Chris about the news. I looked up in the sky and saw the sign that it was time....When my first son Haruki passed on, I couldn't bring myself to update my blog for a long time. We didn't have a "replacement" dog for a long time as well. When Kimiko crossed over, we were faced with the same void. It doesn't get any easier.
Cancer took him from us silently and suddenly a few weeks ago. I took him to the vet thinking he was going to have remove fluids from his abdomen (he has done so twice), coming home with him and going for his walk in the evening. This time, the vet said that his spleen was highly enlarged and may rupture unexpectedly at any time. So, I stayed with him at the vet until it closed to help him cross over the rainbow to be with Haruki and Kimiko. Ironically, he passed on Haruki's birthday - Aug 10.
Weeks before, he spent happily walking and doing the things that he loved - eating and sleeping. Through strange coincidences, we met a lovely neighbor during our walks, who asked whether their kids could walk the dogs. So, he spent his last days walking everyday with them.
My sweet boy will run with Ruki and Kimi until we see each other again....

Thank you so much for taking him and loving him so much!! You are his best momma....and he loved you so much too.
I am so so sad......I love you Hiro....never regret what I had to go through to rescue you.....
I am so devastated too. I thought we had many years more together. He had so many unique antics.... there will not be another boy like him :(
So grateful for our time together.... although it was too short. Have to console myself that he is happily eating and playing with my departed kids in rainbow heaven.
Thank you for bringing us together. Forever grateful to you for the rescue!
I am forever thankful that you called me....you are 1 in a million. I was looking so hard for someone to love him, to care for him and give him a wonderful life that he so deserved. And then, you appeared!
I am so thankful you and your parents love him too. I am so thankful that you took him to the vet so often, and never complain. I am so thankful he had a kong-kong and po-po.
My heart aches for he only knew love and family for 1 year and 9 months....so short a time....
Sweet Hiro.....indeed, there will never be another boy like him.
I do hope you have brought him back home. It is where he belongs....
Tears on earth
... not in heaven :D
