Elvis Woodward

My Gorgeous German Sheperd!! xxxx

Wow, feels so hard to write this; wasnt that long ago that Elvis passed away :(

Elvis was the most amazing dog you could ever have, such a little rebel , always being so mischevious but with that, he was so amazing, always coming to you for a little cuddle, and to be stroked he had a favourite part of his back that he liked to be scratched, and he'd sit there for ages whilst u scratched it lol , was so cute, he was so big , for 2 years of age, he was like a giant bear, so gorgeous.. No dog could ever replace him. he had giant paws, and lovely fur , was amazingly gorgeous; he could just look at you , and youd wana give him a hug n a kiss - am even getting upset talking about him lol I know some people tend to think .. " its just a dog or a cat or a rabbit, get over it " but you can't .. because they become part of your family.. you find yourself lost without them.. I used to sit in my room and if I was going through a bag or opening a wrapper of some sort on a packet .. he'd hear the rustling and come running down the stairs to see what it was lol

My favourite thing that Elvis done, was he'd wait for you to finish your drinks; and he'd sit there by you and wait for you to give him your empty bottle.. and once he got hold of it , he'd rarely let go of it untill he managed to get the lid off.. And once he got that lid off, he'd run about with it in the passage, like a giant bear chasin after something.. He'd chuck it in the air with his mouth and hit it with his paw when it was on the floor, he'd do that for hours on end. It was the cutest thing ever; he'd done it ever since he was tiny'.. i'l never ever forget that image of him chasin a lid from a bottle you'd give him.

Sadly , on the 22nd October at 1pmish, Elvis began to be sick , it was green , which showed something was wrong.. My mum went to let Elvis outside incase he'd be sick again, but he didnt even get down the stairs before he started fitting and fell to the floor having a fit.. it last for about 2 minutes. Then straight after he had yet another fit and it lasted a little bit longer.. I went downstairs to see what was wrong, and he was just laying there against the wall , his body looked so stiff, but he's head seemed fine, he was looking around , like he didnt know where he was. so I began to tell him he was ok, that it was over now. I started saying his name. but something wasnt quite right.. He seemed lost, different, his eyes so glazed. he sat up but he's body was still very weak. and he just looked around.. He then began growling, but this I understand is a very natural reaction for any dog that has a fit.. Because they come around , feeling confused, anxious and unaware of what just went on.. Elvis then went completely mad lol and started chasing pretty much anybody that got in his way.. But Il never ever hold that against him because he didnt know what was going on.
He wasnt like that normally, never against me like that.. but whatever happened during the seizure he'd changed after.. I still love him exactly the same, although he chased me lol and I was quite scared of how he was after the fits. Sadly, he had to be put down , to stop any further seizures/fits.. It didnt seem fair , it wasnt fair to put him through that, after seeing his face , the first time he went through that.. I couldnt see him do that again, There was always something with Elvis, he was really clumsy, he was always running into things, and walking into things.. He'd fall up the stairs and bang his head on the steps. He'd run indoors after going outside and run into the door, I just put it down to him being daft lol , I don't know now though, I think he had something wrong with him; but I will never know what that was; I will never want to know either, because I will always remember Elvis for the dog he was ; and still is up in heaven; not the dog that was having fits.

He was so young, and gorgeous, I'l never forget him. He was the most amazing dog you could ever have. Its hard to get over it considering its only been a week n a bit. but time helps, it never heals.

I love you Elvis, and I'll always remember you :o) xxxxx
