My baby Luke

My baby LukeMy baby boy I miss you so much. Luke was my best friend in the world and I treated him like a son more than a pet. He was spoiled rotten, he had his own bed but he slept in mine. I loved him so much I still can't believe he is gone. I took Luke to The Small Animal Clinic in because he looked like he had an eye infection and he wasn't acting like he was feeling good. When we got there they gave him eye drops and sent us home. Two days later I took him back really worried because now he was barely moving around and his eyes hurt him so bad he just kept them closed. Well all the vet did was give him new eye drops and send us on our way again, telling us to come back Monday and if his eye's didn't look better he would send him to an eye doctor. Sunday night Luke started panting and coughing. I was so worried I called the vet at his emergency line but there was no answer. Finally I tried out of town and this wonderful vet in Colemen, TX answered his phone. I told him everything that was going on frantically and also that I really didn't have much money on me at the moment. The vet said that was fine and to come in, by that time it was midnight. With one look, just ONE look the vet in Coleman could see that Luke didn't have an eye infection he had Lymphoma Cancer, and after he fully examined Luke he confirmed it. He asked if Luke could stay the night so he could take blood and test to try and see how far along the cancer was. I agreed and went home to my empty house and waited. Finally at 9am he called and said that I could pick Luke up at 10am. When I got there Luke looked so sad and weak I was so worried. The vet told me to take him home and try to get him to eat, and he would call me when the the blood test came in. Well I got Luke all the way home, but we only got the door. He just kind of whined at me and then layed down. I couldn't believe it, my baby was dying and all I could do was watch and scream. I called the vet and he had me bring Luke back to Coleman as fast as possible. I put Luke in the car, but I knew it was already to late, he was gone. I still took him back to Coleman where they let me cry in their office for about an hour and a half before someone came and got me. The vet there didn't charge me for anything. After I went home the vet called the next day after the tests came in and told me he had stage five of the Cancer and that he was very sorry for my loss. He was really sweet about the whole thing. I miss Luke he left such a void in my heart and home. I Love you Luke and miss you every minute of every day.
