To all Normie's friends out there, It was a very difficult and sad decision that I made today. Normie's seizures have progressively worsened over the past few months and his recent episodes just did not want to end. He started seizuring at 17h30 on Tuesday 7 April 2009, and they got longer and every single time. I had him at the vet 3 times and then he stayed overnight again last night, but when he got home today, he was running into walls and looking strangely at his toys. It was obvious that the brain damage started and he continued his fits until I had him back at the doctor at 16h00 today. By recommendation from the doc and my own trauma of seeing all this, we decided it would be better to have him put to sleep. I will miss his love. I will miss his laughter. I will miss his wagging tale. I will miss his devoted love to me... he followed me every step that I made. The loo, the shower, the bath, the kitchen, the bedroom, even when i mowed the lawn... 100% devoted to ...

I came across this blog yesterday.
I am also an owner of an almost 3-year-old wire foxterrier named Bziku (in translation: cuckoo, nuts, crazy).
Bziku had a life-saving surgery 2 months ago. A piece of a plastic toy (that he ate...of course), got stuck in his bowels.
When I look at Norman's photos it's as if I saw Bziku.
Reading your posts from april and may 2009 was very diffcult for me, because with every line that I read, the fear that I've been feeling for the last 2 months grew bigger and bigger. I just couldn't stop crying...
I cannot imagine what you felt when you lost your dog, but I do know the fear of losing a beloved dog. Because he is to me like my own child :)
But there's also a bright side of it all. It's great to discover that somewhere out there live people who are as crazy about their dogs as I am.
I hope your heart will stop aching one day.
Wish you all the best.
