| Before reading, keep in mind although Pee Wee's life got off to a bad start, we made sure he lived as happy as he possibly could while we had him. |
| Pee Wee was a puppy born out of Sasha (orange and cream) and Gizmo (black). A totally healthy puppy at birth. When PeeWee was four weeks old, I noticed he had a runny nose. The vet checked Pee Wee out as totally healthy, except he needed medicine for allergies. So Pee Wee got an injection. Shortly there after Pee Wee stopped walking and started falling over whenever he would stand. The vet then diagnosed Pee Wee as hydrocephalus. Knowing the signs and symptoms of hydrocephalus I was not convinced. We searched out another vet to take Pee Wee to. We found one in Claxton Georgia, who set us up with The Veterinary School of the University of Georgia. There with the latest in technology they found Pee Wees' true problem. The injection Pee Wee had received for allergies was too strong of a dosage. The shot had suppressed his immune system and allowed an infection to set in on his brain. The only treatment was through medications and the chances of him being cured was very slim. Pee Wee quit growing, never quite reaching 2 lbs. and never would walk again. Over the next two years our family had a new baby. Pee Wee was fed, bathed and cared for just as you would a newborn baby. Although Pee Wee had problems and wasn't able to get around like most dogs, he was highly intelligent. He would let you know by barking and pushing his hind end up when he needed to go to the bathroom. When we would play with him, he would put his ears up and put his head down like he was preparing for an attack while his tail was wagging. It was so cute. Pee Wee went everywhere with us. Pee Wee went camping several times. Made many trips with us, across the state, to North Carolina and even a vacation in the mountains. We believe camping was his favorite. He had his own life jacket and loved the water. The water was also a great exercise for his legs. However our time with Pee Wee was too short. He was taken from us when the infection in his brain worsened. It was very devastating on everyone who knew him. The way we look at it is God gave us an Angel and now God has an Angel. This site and all pups are dedicated to Pee Wees' memory. |
