TOBY ROCK HUNT
October 26, 2007 - July 22, 2008
We received a call on Tuesday morning, while in Williamsburg, VA. We had Shelby and Toby in the Cozy Canine Camp while on vacation. Dad used this kennel several times so we really did not worry overmuch about them.Anyway, Toby was being taken to the hospital, because he was acting sluggish and had diarrhea. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was in shock. We left VA immediately after the call.
I had asked Dad to go see Toby, so he could have a familiar face. Toby seemed to be stable, with his color returning, so dad left. But within the hour, Toby took a turn for the worse, he had several Dr.'s working on him. I got another call when we were about 1/2 hour away from home. The Dr. didn't think we'd make it in time. We didn't....
We don't know what happened. We could have had an autopsy done. Cozy Canine even offered to pay for it. But it would have involved more than we could bear at the time.
After talking with the Dr.'s we think Toby must have either gotten into something poisonous at the camp (seed, mushroom), or gotten bitten by something, in order for his body to shut down so very fast.
It is so very hard to believe my Tob Tob is gone. I feel horrible we extended our vacation that extra day. Horrible that he was with total strangers when he died. And yet, I know God is in control. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Just wanted to post some pictures to remember him by...
Goodbye Toby. We'll never forget you Little Buddy.
