Arrival Story:
Shelby was a Valentine's Day Present from a boyfriend. By the time he was old enough to be seperated from his Mother the guy and I had broken up. Shelby lived with my Dad and sister as I commuted between there and my Mother's so we maybe didn't bond so well in the beginning. He's my (old) baby now though.

Bio:
Shelby had to be put down on July 12, 2007. He was so sick there was nothing else to do. He will be loved always.

Shelby's vet visit yesterday did not go well. He's been losing weight and not eating or drinking as much. His left kidney is enlarged and almost non-functional. He's been dignosed with calcium crystals in the kidney and pelvis. Right now I'm waiting for the vet to call with the blood work results and to discuss course of care. There's no cure, only treatment to halt further damage.
He's been my baby for 12 1/2 years and I can't bear the thought of him not being here, but I've already decided that I won't make him stay longer than he can. Even now, he's not my same beastie boy. I won't have him suffer just to keep him for a little longer.
