Sadly, we had to put Schweiz to sleep last night. He started getting sick around 7pm and wouldn't eat dinner which means there is a major problem. Michael took him to emergency vet care by 9pm and they determined over the next few hours that he had eaten something foreign again, but this time it had moved to his intestines, and was also stuck in his stomach creating an accordian in his intestines. The proposed surgery would have been very, very invasive and if he made it through, would have to have had some intensive caregiving, which we sadly aren't able to provide.
So we've been really sad, except for Liam and I'm kind of worried about it. When we told him this morning, Michael and I were both teary and I think it scared him as he responded with a smile the whole time. Total denial. Even Drew was crying when he heard that woof-woof was gone.
We'll all think about Schweiz up in Heaven, in what we hope is a HUGE dog park!
We love you! xoxo

So sad to hear about your old friend. We don't know where the time has gone but our wonderful Kidney will be 9 in March and we don't know what we will do some day without her being around. They sure are part of the family.
Dad
