| Toby Moses "Little Man" Slimmer 05/19/2006-08/01/2016 |
Hi furiends!
Mama Mindy here. Lots has happened since we were last on. Toby Moses has been on a steady decline since his Old Dog Vestibular Disease diagnosis back in February after his eardrum burst. I rather not focus on his decline and just give you the details we know of his final minutes with us on earth.
My mom and I went on morning errands--PetsMart, Michaels, and a home décor store. Not the usual errands, but a "let's have a little fun" errands. We got home around 12:30pm with KFC. Our babies were all there to greet us home, including Toby. Within 5 minutes of getting home, I was in the process of returning a missed call when my dad raised his voice to tell me that Toby collapsed to his side. Toby was struggling to breathe and I noticed him trying to get back up. Just when he tried to get back up, he collapsed again and this time I saw his eyes tracking. He was having a seizure.
Mom grabbed little man off of the kitchen floor and ran with him to the pugmobile, Ruby Red. I called the vet clinic to tell them we were on our way, and they told me that there were no doctors around and it would be 20 minutes or more before one would be back from lunch. I screamed at the phone that we didn't have 20 minutes, we were on our way and if we could get him any assistance in breathing we would take it.
As we tried to get off our street onto the main road, Toby took his final breath in the arms of his loving mama, my mom, Mama CJ. It was a heart chilling moment. For the next hour and a half mom cradled Toby in her arms, we cried, and we prayed. The vet is going to perform an autopsy on Toby's body per our request. Toby will have a private cremation. We will let you know what we find out at autopsy. We think that his heart gave out. We are not 100% sure and it is for closure that we are asking for an autopsy to be performed.
I will try to share better news in a few days, but we need to grieve.
Rest in peace our Sweet, Cutie Patootie, Pug of the Prairie, Stinker Bean, Little Mans, Tobers, Toby Moses.

God Bless,

I've never heard of Toby or been on this blog before but this is still breaking my heart. Rest in peace, Toby, you will be missed. Gone, but never forgotten.

Mom Kim here - I am so very sorry for your loss. It is all the more difficult since it was unexpected and he seemed ok when you first got home. I just saw the news on the POTP page. Not sure what happened - I thought we followed you - I know we are signed up now. Toby Moses is now whole and well - running and playing beyond the Bridge. My Shiloh became an angel there this past March - maybe they have found each other and those who once lived in Blogville are now all together and having a grand time. Prayers and peace to you.
Our hearts go out to you and break right along with yours. We are so very sorry. We wish that we could have gotten to know your sweet little man. Huge hugs to you♥
We are so sorry to hear about your dear Toby. We have just had a loss in our family too. We're sending hugs and our best wishes for your family.
We are very sorry for your loss and we will keep you in our prayers. Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
We are so very sorry for your loss and will be keeping our paws together fur you!!
xoxo,
Matt & Matilda
We didn't know Toby and are saddened by the news. We went through this last year and weren't spared of having to make the decision of when to let go. Run free, Toby.
Stopping by from the POTP page to leave our condolences on the loss of your Toby. We are so very sorry and wish you peace of mind when you get your autopsy results. Run free Toby with your Sis over the Bridge. Strength to you all.
Marty, Mom and the Gang
I MJF, am sorry for this loss, and send my MJF kisses and soft wuffs. My kitty brofurs add loud meezer purrs, too. The petcretary says she was having some floods in her eyes when she read about Toby Moses in another blog...
So sorry for your loss. You are feeling shocked and empty, but your hearts are full of all the precious and cherished memories to treasure in there forever...to take out and meander through when ever you want to have some Toby Moses moments.
