A week ago tonight are world broke. Our 11 year old chiweenie, Ninja, suddenly collapsed, couldn't stand, or even hold up his head and had rapid, shallow breathing. Our established vet would not see him, so we were able to find another vet clinic that agreed to see him. Along with the symptoms I just stated, the vet noted his gums were white. An ultrasound revealed our sweet baby had a bleeding mass on his spleen with probable involvement of other organs. We opted to euthanize as he had little to no hope of a recovery. We felt stabs to our heart as we held him and loved him to the other side. Ninja came to us as a 7 week old pup. He was a cuddle bug from day one, enjoyed playing with us and his canine siblings, was famous for his love of having his photo taken - always providing a big smile when we told him how handsome he was. Ninja was well traveled - 14 states, numerous rv camp grounds/parks, hundreds of nights hogging our bed in the rv, always ready for an adventurous walk in new places. He leaves behind a hole way bigger than his little body took up in life.
Today, when we received his ashes, we began to heal. Barry and Beth are so kind and provide such a caring, professional service. I put together this little memorial tribute to Ninja today. Thank you, Wichita Valley Pet Cremation, Barry, and Beth for your compassion, love, and professionalism!
