What made this Saturday morning different then any other! I woke up to Guiness & Neena playing on the bed jumping all over me, Paul walked the dogs, watched them play & wrestling, went out for an hour. I came home 2 see that Guiness had an accident in our bedroom, which surprised me but i laughed it off. I went outside to tell Paul about Guiness' accident & came back in and saw that he wasn't hiding because he was embarassed, he wouldn't get up. I ran outside and told Paul 2 hurry something was wrong with Guiness. We immedialtely rushed him to the emergency clinic in deerfield beach. I assumed he got into something or maybe he was stung by a bee or he had a tummyache. The doctor calls later saying we need 2 come up with more money for emergency surgery, Guiness has had a series of minor operations for mass cell tumors all that have been benign. Just 3 months ago we took him to the vet to make sure he didn't have any problems inside him & he was clear! The doctor said that he needed surgery asap because he has a very large mass on his spleen, & his spleen needed to be removed, & that he might also have a mass on his liver but they could not tell because he was bleeding inside! The doctor said that if the mass was on his liver he would either be put down or he might have 6-7 months to live. He also needed a blood transfusion, Luckily my 3 other dogs are blood donors & so the kind people at sunstates animal blood bank came to our rescue with unlimited supply of blood for Guiness. When we lived in North Carolina Guiness gave blood several times when needed, i use to work at a vets & they would rush me home & have me bring in my dogs! Pits are awesome donors. We found a way to come up with more money & rushed over there to hug & kiss him. We told the doctor to do everything he could, that we had 2 take Guiness home with us. He even told us he would release Guiness a few days earlier to cut the costs of his hospitalization. We were both planning on staying home with him to help him recooperate. Guiness is the world to us all. He was so cold and sick but he still managed to lick our tears and he knew that Paul & me were freaking out! The doctor said that his surgery would take about an hour & a half to two hours, we rushed home showered, ate, & rushed back. We were so happy because we had'nt heard from vets office so we assumed everything would be ok. We were just 1 minute away, when the doctor called Paul and said to me, " Ms. Rodriguez, i'm sorry to inform you but Guiness passed away during surgery." I can't remember much after that, we ran in & we both were crying & screaming, how could this happen, he was fine, he was playing, there were no signs of him being sick! We lost our baby! I needed to say goodbye & i love you, we sat there with him for an hour, watching him, not moving not breathing, i was waiting for him 2 get up and be happy again, i wish there was more we could have done, but it was already too late. Paul & I just held him & kissed him, Paul says he thought he saw him move a couple times. I was so crazed i was wanting to give him mouth 2 mouth, to try to give him back his precious dearing life. Couldnt they have done more to save him. Even if we had another 6-7 months with him, i would quit work & cherish everyday with him. I wish we had more time. He loved everybody, Everyone that got to know Guiness really & truly loved him, he was special, he would always make you smile, even when he stole the food off your plate, or drenched you in his licking & slobber! He was such an awesome dog, the word dog doesnt even justify him, he was our baby, our best friend, everytime i would get a migraine or was sick, he was right there laying with me. Paul & me could not get into heated discussions or arguements, he would start shivering & get upset. There really is no other best friend than him. He would never stab you in the back, talk shit, cheat or anything, his sole purpose was to love you unconditionally. I don't know how we are going to make it without him. We are planning on burrying him in our yard. A wonderful friend who loved Guiness dropped off some beatiful roses, so we will have a rose & butterfly garden for him. I need closure! I want my baby home resting in peace in the house his daddy works so hard for. The only reason Paul bought a house was for the dogs to live a happy life! He was suppose to be our ringbearer when we decided it was time 2 get married. I had it all planned out, Guiness & paul would be wearing matching tuxedos, while our ceremony would be on the beach. Guiness was so lucky to have had been stolen by Paul from some idiots yard where they were planning on using him for bait, & Paul was so lucky to have had such a remarkable friend. And I am so lucky to have had them both! I have grown to love dogs and dedicate alot of time & effort in rescue/foster work with animals. I would have to save Guiness was my TRUE INSPIRATION. I wish I could wake up from this dream and things would be normal! Thank you Guiness and Paul for letting me live my life with you guys! We will miss him dearly, the house feels empty, even with the presence of Diesel,Pechichi, & Neena. The bed feels cold! GUINESS, YOU EARNED YOUR WINGS, PLEASE WATCH & PROTECT US FROM ABOVE! WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US!
Words from a dear friend:
May you both find the peace that Guinness has found.
He couldn't have been any luckier of a dog the day Paul found him and brought him into your lives.
Love always- Mommah & Daddy, Dees, Pech & your beloved girlfriend Neena
I really dont know what to do or say theres nothing that can describe the feeling i would get everytime i would come home...Home dosn't feel the same today..He was always so happy to see me couldn't wait for me to walk him so i can give him a treat and tell him what a good boy he was...He would cry to be with me and bark to defend me.. He would do anything just to get a space next to me... For the 9 years i had him i've dealt with just about everything i could handle including my brothers death...This is hard.. After all my friends had come and gone he was the only one standing with me, along with my beautiful girlfriend par who is the only one who understands and cares as much as me. This is it yet the hardest thing ive ever had to do, sit for the last hour with the one thing that meant so much to me, my best friend,GUINESS, so calm, so cold but still full of love till the last moment..Why??? I dont understand he was so happy that morning. He was nowhere near just my dog but the best thing i ever had, I LOVE HIM DEARLY and i will miss him with all my heart
Dear Guiness, Daddy & Mommah got a beatiful white casket for you. Thers a lot of room in it so you can be peaceful. Its so pretty and has creme velvet liner. We will leave you to rest with your pillow & toys!
We will all be together one day.
