Cody was 11 years old, but had been pretty healthy most of his life. He started to slow down a bit over the last month, so we took him to the vet on Nov. 9. She did blood tests to see if his liver, etc. were functioning ok so we could put him on meds if he needed it. The blood tests looked fine so we weren't too worried. But by Sunday he stopped eating and didn't look well at all. We figured we could wait til Monday to get him back to the vet, but Monday morning as the kids were in the garage getting ready to get in the car to go to school, Cody collapsed. They came to get me in the house and I ran out, but Cody wasn't responding at all when I got to him. I hoisted him into the back of the van and drove to the vet as quickly as I could with the kids. She didn't have to spend any time with him...he was already gone...I'm sure he died right in the garage, but I had to try to get him to the vet. We cried and cried. The vet and Cody's obedience trainer (on staff at the clinic) cried with us. We don't really know what happened to him, but we are thankful that he didn't suffer very long. We are glad that he died at home with the people he loved...except for Blake. Blake was already in Des Moines for the day and we had to call him with the bad news. It was very hard on him that he wasn't here and didn't really get to say goodbye to his friend and hunting partner. We had a very rough week, but are doing a bit better. It is still hard to come home and not see him trotting out of the garage door or barking to be let in to see us. Even though he was a very ornery troublemaker quite often---therefore not in the house very much--he really was a sweet dog and loved us very much. We miss him a lot.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Here he is having his last Dairy Queen treat in September (he didn't get those very often, but we did spoil him once in a while!)</span><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3HHDyhLI/AAAAAAAAAOk/HXlvQjjAeVs/s1600-h/IMGP2721.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134375276728452274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3HHDyhLI/AAAAAAAAAOk/HXlvQjjAeVs/s320/IMGP2721.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3H3DyhMI/AAAAAAAAAOs/lYMepBANm9w/s1600-h/IMGP2722.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134375289613354178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3H3DyhMI/AAAAAAAAAOs/lYMepBANm9w/s320/IMGP2722.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">Here he is with his buddy, J.</span><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3IHDyhNI/AAAAAAAAAO0/wiEIgYQswDc/s1600-h/IMGP0452.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134375293908321490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3IHDyhNI/AAAAAAAAAO0/wiEIgYQswDc/s320/IMGP0452.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> Cody...our good friend...we love him!</span><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3InDyhOI/AAAAAAAAAO8/q3VJX2FxzVs/s1600-h/IMGP0547.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134375302498256098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_WeCiKIyF1xs/R0D3InDyhOI/AAAAAAAAAO8/q3VJX2FxzVs/s320/IMGP0547.JPG" border="0" /></a> October 15, 1996-November 12, 2007<br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37269665-2222937173164001845?l=bkjrhardy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>klhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449669486172741292noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37269665.post-67238058967412099902007-11-18T12:42:00.000-08:002007-11-18T13:01:52.351-08:00R. turned 7 on November 8.
