I don't want to go upstairs right now.... When I do, MamaBevo and I have to take our beloved "Yogi" to the Vet for the very last time. His heart has just grown so big, he can't breath. Today, he's been laboring all day... won't eat, or drink... just gasping for breath. It's been going on for several months... medicine has helped ALOT. But, we're at the end of what they can do. For more than 12 years he's been the center of attention around here. I'm already crying worse than Doc or Lebron. 
We're gonna miss this little guy...

I've been there. It was sad beyond description. My mother, may she R.I.P., showed me as much love as a human being possibly could. But, it still wasn't the unconditional love that my beloved mutt from the pound, Queenie, gave me.

I had to make that drive a while back. I know how you feel. |

Well, I didn't have to take him. When I got upstairs, he'd already passed ... Here at home, with his favorite calamari toy. He HATED getting into the car. And, he hated going to the boarding place (we're heading out for a cruise tomorrow... So, he was about to get boarded again.)
All in all, I guess that's as good as it could be for him. I buried him out back, beneath a tree he loved to pee on. 😌
RIP Yogi.

We had to do the same with Ozzy, our Boston Terrier about 3 weeks ago.
Ever faithful, he just got old, lost control of functions, eyesight and nearly deaf. Started snapping at the kids too.

I never knew Yogi, of course, but I am still teary-eyed.
You have to tell me what a calimansi toy is. We have 3 calimansi trees in our yard. It is a small, very sour citrus that has to be diluted 8-1 to make incredibly delicious juice. It is also called "calamondin". But, I assume that Yogi's calimansi toy is something else.

It's a small stuffed octopus. He would pick it up in his mouth, and carry it... "For a walk".. in the circle through our den, entry way, and kitchen. It was adorable. Usually, a slow walk... sometimes, he went very quickly. Might be one lap? Might be 10. We're convinced he was a little OCD. After walking, he would sit down and just LICK it. He had a real "Licker problem"... but then, who in this family doesn't? My wife has some recent pics of him carrying calamari. Yesterday, my oldest son was here... and, he played "Cheeseburger" with Yogi for several minutes. It's a fetch game, where my son throws a small plastic squeak toy cheeseburger, and Yogi went to fetch it. For a couple of years now, he would ONLY play this with one of my sons. I came home from Houston last night. Yogi met me at the door, tail a-waggin... and offered me his belly for rubbing. A little later, he was sitting on my lap, soaking up some love. Hard to believe he went downhill so fast today. |

That is too cute!
What breed was Yogi? I don't recall ever seeing a dog quite like him.
