<p class=MsoNormal>Tonight my heart is breaking as I write to you asking
that you keep my family in your thoughts and prayers as we try to get thru this
ordeal. As some of you know my beloved Harrison had many problems
some related to old age and some not. In June of this year we thought that
we were going to lose but miraculously we did not . <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>All day today he had a problem keeping any position ,
sitting, lying standing longer than 30-45 seconds. We rushed him to the
vet after a couple of hours of this and after many test an ultrasound of his spleen
revealed a large tumor. Because of his advanced cardiac issues surgery
was not possible. So with no other options available to us we
helped him to the bridge where he is no longer feeling any pain. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Harrison was a 13 yr old boy who endeared himself to all
that met him with his sweet nature. Harrison started life with us at age
2-3 yrs as a rescue from Brood. Later years found him a very willing ambassador
for Droopy Basset Rescue. He loved people especially children and was
patient and kind to the end. He seemed to think that anyone who came to
the house did so just to see him. What a great guy. He
could barely walk at the end but that did not stop him from enjoying life and
all the great scents even if it meant sitting on the beach with nose in the
air or rolling in the sand. He could no longer enjoy walks with us
so we would drive him to the beach or park and allow him to take his few steps
tail wagging and sniff life!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>But if really were honest with myself I saw the
signs and just couldn’t bear to think of losing him. He
was special beyond belief and my heart aches at the thought of never having him
in my life any longer. He was my old gentleman and I miss him terribly
already. Thanks for the support that you have shown me in the past.<o:p></o:p></p>
