Buster

In Memory of Buster

I knew from the second I met Buster that he was going to be my boy, and he was.  He was my little shadow no matter where I was in the house including the bathroom ;). I remember the first time he walked in the house, he walked in like he owned it, he looked at Bandit like "I'm home so you better move over." I will always remember when I came home he would gallop around the living room until he got loved, and boy did he love to eat. I will miss him dearly. I could not have loved him more if I gave birth to him myself ;). I was the lucky one to have Buster in my life and give him his forever home! We only had Buster in our lives for close to 4 years but he sure did give us a lifetime of love, and we were the lucky ones.

Keep up the great work with the CSAC Rescue, and we will keep on touch with Facebook and when we are ready and one of those baby catches our eye we will ask to adopt again.

Kobi

In Memory of Kobi

Kobi (14 yrs old) had a wonderful 5 1/2 years with us despite having a host of medical problems and spending a lot of time visiting the vet. We found out that the reason he kept having left ear infections was due to a tumor deep inside his left ear. He had the TECA procedure, total ear canal removal, and the ear infections never came back, and he felt much better. We also had that large lipoma on his chest removed, along with two benign tumors deep in the folds of his intestines. We gave him eye-drops, but he still had eye infections so we were also putting ABT ointment in his eyes every day, and he liked this because they made him feel better. He had put on some weight the first two years here so we put him on a diet. We took him to the park, and he loved just happily staring at the lake and birds for hours. We took him to the ER when he stopped eating, and they diagnosed him with a gastric ulcer. I felt in my gut there was a lot more going on there but treated him for that. I had to stay home full-time and that was great for Kobi because he loved me being home with him 24 hours a day. He always remained very frightened of being groomed since his ear being cut so we medicated him prior to grooming and that helped some. His last x-ray showed gross abnormality in his liver and spleen and so we decided it would be in Kobi's best interest not to put him through another major abdominal surgery. He felt extremely loved and pampered by everyone, especially his mommy, and we love him dearly. I pray he is happy and pain free running around with Rusty in Heaven. Please thank Doris, Susan and the whole CSAC crew for allowing us to be part of his life.
