Today my Mason would have been 1 years old. I feel so robbed by his short time with me. I only had him 40 days. Distemper is a horrible death. I am grateful I have my Chason, but wonder what Mason would look like, how much he would weigh, what he could do....I could go on forever. I was just cheated out of memories with him and he was cheated out of a long life. Just had to type this. Thanks
I am sorry. I know what it is like losing a young pup. I lost my Chloe when she was only 4 months old. We only had her for two months. She was put to sleep because of a severe congenital defect in her throat. I often wonder what she would have grown into. She was my baby. (Her picture is in the photo contest) I often wonder that about many of my animals, Chuka was hit by a car at only 9 months old(Chloe's sister), and of Course, Kaia. I am so very saddened by her, I love Chi-Ching and Koda but there is always a small emptiness for the ones we have lost. Just try to think of the good and remember to love in the moment.....don't let Chason go one day without knowing how much he is loved.
I'm sorry. Whenever someone is looking to get a dog, breeders and adoption groups always what to know if you're prepared to make a 10-15 year commitment to the dog. They never ask if you're prepared to lose the dog at a young age (not that anyone could be). I thought about that idea one night when I had to rush Argus to the e-vet in the middle of the night because she showed symptoms of poison.
I hope Chason will live a long, happy life.

Sorry about your day. I also lost 2 puppies to that horrible disease many years ago and to this day, i still think of them and miss them. I'm glad Chason is a happy, healthy doggie.
so sorry about youre loss. and yes distemper is a horrible disease. worse than parvo. its awful that you both had to go through it. to most of us, our pets are like our children and the loss is at times unbearable. we we never forget them and we still have times when we think about them and it feels like they are here with us.
Thanks everybody. I cried so much yesterday. Mason was the first dog I ever owned in my whole life. Throughout my life I have been extremely blessed. Things have always gone my way and I believe it is because of all that I give back to people. So when everything happened with Mason....it was just something I had never had to deal with and it was extremely hard. I
Thank you for your comforting words. I do appreciate it. I am forever grateful God sent me Chason.
I hope that women is paying dearly for what she did to you and countless others and all those innocent puppies.....
