For those of you who know me well enough to have a conversation outside of airsofting, I'm sure you've heard about my Dog, Shelby. A German Short hair/Husky mix.
Tuesday she went to the vets office. she was loosing weight rapidly, and could not keep any food down. The vet found a bowel obstruction (piece of dog toy) lodged in her stomach. Emergency surgery followed immediately.
Later, she started to bleed into her stomach. The damage done to her stomach and bowel was more sever than we all first thought.
The vet then gave her emergency surgery Pro Bono at about 9:30 this morning
She died around 12:30 today, on the operating table
She flat-lined twice, and was potentially "Brain-Dead"
The vets tried their best, and I thank them for it
Shelby was chosen from a litter of puppies a Friend had. (Her Short hair jumped the fence and got knocked up by the husky next door). As you can see from the pictures below, she had very light blue eyes. We chose her before her eyes were even open.
Shelby was a very affectionate and sensitive dog. She would hide when I raised my voice, and not leave you alone until you threw her toy. She also played nice with Mo, my ferret. Many amusing hours were spent watching her chase that fuzzy little bugger
Sometimes Mo would chase her! 
If I don't seem to be in the holiday spirit, I'm trying my best under the circumstances.
Thank you for taking the time to read my little "Pet Eulogy"
Heres some pictures
Shelby waiting for her toy to be thrown
Shelby and Layla (my in-laws dog) playing fetch in the river.
Thats me in the red shorts throwing the stick
Shelby and Layla splashing in the river.
Shelby would let Layla get the ball way out in the river, then bully it away when Layla got to shore

She seemed like a cool dog, and her personality reminds me exactly of my dog, I have a shepard. Sorry to hear that El, Feel sorry for ya. If you ever need an "Internet hug" im here for ya.
