Over the last few weeks Murphy has been declining. I took him to the vet. his vet told me to have Frani come to the hospital. She showed us the x-rays and the changes since a month ago. X-rays were taken and compared to the ones done a month ago. The changes were pronouced. There was a large mass on his spleen, and a cloudy mass that shifted his organs to the the left. Something was very wrong and there was nothing we could do. Surgery was an option, but at his age and condition not recommended. We asked how he was, she said tired, very tired. It was time
At 8:00pm Tuesday night, Murphy crossed the bridge. I held his head im my hands as he passed. Frani kissed him goodbye.
I was away this weekend at my annual lacrosse tournament. Before I left, I asked one favor from Murphy... Not to do anything that would upset Frani. He agreed and we sealed it with a Puperoni. He kept his word to me. Thanks Murph.
Murphy fought hard and won every battle he went through. Paralysis, epilepsy, cancer, and luekemia. He was one tough little man. He was very tired and just couldn't fight anymore. We did as we promised him many years ago... not to let him suffer. We did what was best for him.
Murphy, your struggle is over. You are free run and play like you did when you first came to us. Be at peace our good boy.
Murphy 1995-2008
