Bingo came home with us in may of 1992, a four month old shetland sheepdog. he was white and tan a big ball of fluff. he became part of our family instantly. he slept in our beds and would spin in circles when we told him " mommy's makin'chicken" he loved to eat !! with time bingos white turned black and he was a big boy.. we would joke and say he's the biggest sheltie we'd ever seen. when he was 12 years old we found out that he had colin cancer. he went thru surgery to remove at least one tumor he did well but the vet told us not to get our hopes up he didnt have much time with us. they suggested to put him down soon after the surgery. but bingo loving us so much gave it all he had, and stayed with us for almost one full year more. october of 2005, bingo got really sick, he would just lay down most of the time and shake he was really cold. he developed severe anemia.
he would need a blood transfusion, but the vet said he wouldnt make it thru the procedure, he was too old and sick. we noticed that his pads were falling off his back paw, and his paw turned completely black and he would limp. back to vet, to be told i was being selfish trying not to let him go. it rained most of the beggining of october, until october 17, 2006, the day we had to let him go. it was warm and sunny and he was so sick ! we took that last trip to the vet. and he knew it. he just stared at us and kissed us. he laid on the table, finally not in pain. the hardest discision i ever had to make. he was gone !!! a pain indiscribable.... a pain that ripped at my heart...a pain that will never go away... to most people a dog.... to us, a brother and a son..... for 13 1/2 years a constant part of our lives ! complete sadness took over us. emptiness was all our house was. bingo used to greet us at the top of the stairs, when we came home......... he would bark until we'd say "whats up a wuppa"..? his nick name is wuppa....!! now nothing, we didnt even want to come home.
his jacket still hangs on the closet door..... his bowls are still where we can see them. he will be with us forever. we love you bing, we always will..... we will miss you forever..........
