[vent] my baby puppy is very sickDog Talks

he has parvo. he is a sweet sweet australian shepherd. he is 78 hours into the onset of symptoms under 24/7 care at an emergency clinic. I have faith that God will have mercy on him and I have hope but it is not looking good. he is such a sweet baby. he is only 5 months old and he doesnt deserve this. i trained him since he was 7 weeks old every day. he knows how to sit, lay down, and roll over already. he is potty trained so well that even with parvo he held it for 2 hours in the car while we waited outside the hospital for them to take him. he only barks when he needs something. the day before he got really sick, for the first time ever, he stopped chasing our pet cat when he was told. he is such a good, perfect dog. he is priceless and irreplaceable. he did everything right and he doesn't deserve this. i miss the way he would smile and stick his tongue out the side of his mouth when he was happy. i miss how when he was littler when we played tug-o-war he would just give up on pulling and lay down with his limbs sticking out in different directions like a little starfish so I would just drag him around like he was flying. i miss how when we played fetch or ran around in the backyard he would be so happy and excited. i miss how when we played fetch or he earned a treat he would trot around the house showing it off to me and my wife before he brought it back or ate it. i miss how he would lick my face when i was sad. i miss how we watched him learn how to jump up on the bed and the couch as he got bigger. he was so proud of himself when he did it, and he would always immediately go sneak behind your head like he wanted to be your pillow. we tried to discourage him but it was so cute that we mostly just laughed. even when he was extremely sick waiting in the car outside the hospital he would wag his little docked tail a little every time i said good boy and he gave me lickies while we were waiting for the doctor, almost like he was trying to comfort me. I regret that we didn't let him sleep in the bed with us. If he comes home safe and recovers I promise that he will sleep in bed with my wife and I for the foreseeable future. I regret that we never fed him people food. I thought it was a good thing to do so he would stay fit, but if i had known about this i would have fed him steak and ribs instead of dog food. if he comes home safe and recovers i promise i will buy him the best bbq in town. I regret that we got mad at him when he ate my wife's sandwich. I regret the time i got mad at him for nibbling holes in my wife's new clothes. if he doesn't make it i never want another dog again. I had probably a dozen dogs growing up in my family, and we even lost one puppy to distemper when i was 11, but this is the first one i ever raised and trained myself and i've never felt this close to a dog. Heck, I love this dog more than most people, even some family members. Please Jesus bring him home safe and help him recover. I will take care of him forever and love him with all of my heart, I promise. I don't care how much it costs, he is worth it. Please take my car and my money and my guitars instead of my poor baby sweet genius pup. please...
