My Dollar Was Needed In Doggy Heaven

My 18 month old Yorkie, Dollar passed away just yesterday. I feel absolutely horrible for him. On Saturday night he was normal, frisky, and playful up until about 1 am Sunday before going to bed. We woke up Sunday morning and I guess he had a bout of diarrhea. He was very lethargic and didn't want to do anything. I called the vet and they wanted us to bring him in as soon as possible. My intentions were to leave work early and bring him in.

My daughter was home with him when he jumped down off of her bed to lay on the floor. I assumed or hoped that because he wasn't vomiting and didn't have any other bowel movements, that he would hold on for a couple hours to make it to the vet, but he didn't. He passed away on the floor and I feel like I just missed something and I feel like I made him suffer through his death.

We just really miss him. It just happened so fast. I just don't know what could have happened. He was a really rambunctious baby and loved every single one of us. I just can't believe he is gone and I can't get the picture of his little tired face out of my mind.
