Bad News
Yesterday morning I woke up, went to feed and take out the dogs, and found Elvis (Lynnviews Love Me Tender) dead in his crate. It has taken me until today to even want to get online to write this. It turns out Elvis had a hole in his heart that we never knew about. His heart just gave up on him. Having information now, it seems he has displayed many symptoms for as long as we had him, but we had always figured it was just his particular personality- very quiet, laid back, didn't really want to do as much as the others, shortness of breath when exercising (though I had always thought it was because he was so overweight when we got him). We only had him six months... we didn't know that perhaps this wasn't normal for him. If only we had known, we could've possibly helped him.
Elvis was such a sweet boy. All he wanted was to be loved on, sit in peoples laps, and give kisses. I will dearly miss him. Our time together was much too short.
He is to be buried at a friends small farm. He'll have a beautiful resting place. Maybe my Duffy will take care of him for me now.

Even worse, we had bred Kairi to him back at the end of November. It turns out she aborted the puppies... so now I don't even get a puppy by him :(
