A loved one is never truly gone until they are forgotten,
...to live in the hearts of those left behind is to live forever!

IN LOVING MEMORY

"Morph"

On June 29th 2003, Morph was taken from us. It was swift, though I doubt it was painless. In 45 minutes he died from a bloat/torsion. It was barely enough time to even get him to our vet before he died. There was no warning. No precursor. In a blink of an eye all of out hope and dreams for him were shattered. 

I was not with him when it started, but I let him out before I went to work. When my husband let him back in for feeding, he would not come in. Twenty minutes had passed at this time. It became only too apparent what was happening. I was not even at work yet. The drive to the clinic took 20 minutes. Three minutes before my husband arrived, he called to tell me he did not think he was going to make it. I only had long enough to say good bye. He died before we could even get him to surgery. There will never be another like him. I love and miss him dearly.
