Derb I'm gonna miss you buddy :(
It was the 5th and Derby went in for a big surgery @ 8:30am to remove a huge tumor on his chest. He was 14 and about 90lbs which meant that the surgery was definitely going to be tricky for him. But he made it through. We got a call at 10:30 saying he was doing fine, up and running, drinking water and everything but they were going to keep him over night just to be safe. I was never so happy to hear anything in my life.
Then my dad calls at around 5pm and tells me to get Richard and Fran because he's going to pick us up to say goodbye to Derby. I was crying before I even got off the phone.
We got there, I had Richard, Dad had Fran, and we walked into the room... Morgan was crying, sitting on the floor looking at Derby in the cage. He looked miserable, he was just staring into the wall, breathing heavily. My mom was hugging him and crying. As soon as she backed away to let my dad say bye, he started whimpering and it was the saddest noise I've ever heard in my life. Fran and Richard both stopped being so hyper when we put them in the cage next to him. It was eerie. He was the best dog ever and it's just now sinking in that he's really gone. Especially today when I came home, expecting him to be sleeping on the floor in his spot next to the couch like always.
Needless to say, I miss him like crazy...
