Good evening everyone. I was just wanting to talk about the best dog in the world, in my opinion, which is my dog Blitz! He's a Belgium Malinois that I've had for going on 8 years and is the absolute best dog I could have ever hoped to have met!
Blitz and I met roughly 8 years ago while I was on the job performing pest control. I knew this family had small dogs but I nearly pooped myself when this massive beast came out from under their truck barking at me. It turns out someone had tossed him out of the back of a truck a few weeks earlier which lead to him breaking his rear right leg. The family couldn't take care of him and were going to take him to the pound to be put down unless I could take him off their hands. I had just moved into a new place and owning a dog was against the lease so I told them I couldn't but, right as those words were coming out of my mouth, this dog came over to me and let me pet him and when I did he just did the heaviest lean with soul piercing puppy dog eyes I've ever felt and seen and snatched my heart away. Lease be damned as I going to take this dog with me and be homeless if I had to!!!
Over the next several months I transition Blitz from an outside dog, who absolutely hated my neighbors motorcycle, to an inside dog, who absolutely loved eating through the drywall. ;-) I eventually moved to another city and into an apartment by myself and, sadly, could not take him out as often as I'd like. Blitz is such a stubborn dog that he refused to go to the restroom inside even if I was working 16+ hours, and yes, I had the pads down for him. I mean, he would wait all that time for me to take him out and stand there for 5 minutes just staring at the sky letting the flood gates rage open. I know that's not the best habit but nothing I could do changed it.
Fast-forward a few months more and Blitz helped me snag a girlfriend who is now my wife, if that isn't the best wing man then I don't know what is! Blitz and I have been through everything over the past decade we've been together and that's why my wife and I started to get worried this past October. For the better part of the last month Blitz has been having an issue going to the restroom, loss of appetite, and several other problems so we took him to multiple vets that couldn't figure out what was going on. Eventually we took him to the University of Georgia Veterinary School on to see if they could figure anything out. After several pokes and prods and numerous tests they informed us that he has a very aggressive form of cancer in his lungs, stomach, large and small intestines, liver, and pancreas. I can't remember exactly what kind of cancer they said it was but it spread to all of those areas in the the last 30-45 days.
My big, drywall eating, biggest bladder ever, best friend and wing man is dying and there's nothing that we can do about it! We've decided that we will lay him to rest this Sunday to end his suffering but we are going to make tomorrow the best damn day of his amazing life!!! I know this turned into a downer post but I just wanted to share that the best damn dog anyone could ever hope to have as a companion is going to be passing away this weekend but I'm going to do everything I can to make the last few days I have with him the best damn days of his life.
I don't know why I'm sharing this with you all but if you read all that then thank you and I hope you and your best friend(s) have a long and happy life together like we have. Make sure you cherish each and every moment like it's the last because you never really know when that last day will be.
