Rush The Corgi

Coming home to a empty house hurts. This used to be my routine when I got home.. I miss them so much.

We got Rush's ashes today... It's been a hard day... but we saw a rainbow right after we got his ashes, it was really close to our home. I really hope he was greeted by his my sweet Jazzy and they are playing in the fields, barking at each other and loving each other. He missed his sister a lot when she passed and that is my only comfort knowing they are together again.

I would like to say thank you to every single person who showed love on Rush passing away. You made the time where I felt the most alone, less lonely. I know how much he was loved on here and I thank every single one of you very very much. The go fund me we had for Rush went to help pay down the bills we collected during the month of trying to do everything for him. Thank you everyone who donated, we appreciate it more than you will ever know.

It will be a month this Wednesday. I have been absolutely heart broken... losing my best friend... my support dog... My day to day routine revolved around Rush. He was always by my side making sure my Anxiety was under control. Life has been so hard without him... so very very hard. He helped me more then I realized. The house is very very quiet, the happiness is not there. He brought life and made my house a home. I miss him so very very much.

I will post old pictures of him from time to time but until then I hope you all take care of yourselves and give your puppies all the love. Take care everyone.

THE FINAL UPDATE. To my best friend... to the dog that saved my life when I wanted to end it. To my best friend who helped me grieve my dad's death. To my best friend who helped me with my PTSD. To my best friend who spent every day by my side. To my best friend who was there for every sad day, every happy day, every day I felt like giving up, every day I didn't want to get out of bed. To my baby boy, my Rush Gunsmoke Gallegos, my bubbas, the most handsomest dude ever. I'm going to miss you so much and my heart is completely broken right now. I don't know what I'm going to do with out you.. I can't believe you are gone just like that. I would switch you places if I could baby boy. You were so kind, so loving, so silly, you were the perfect dude. Thank you for letting me be your dad. Thank you for everything. I love you my Rush.... my bubbas... my baby boy.

He should be here right now. He has a CT Scan tomorrow... he was supposed to start treatment next week. They gave him 20+ months.. You were not supposed to pass away on a medical bed today. We were supposed to be celebrating you getting better.

My Rush had multiple seizures at home tonight around 7PM. We rushed him to the vet where he had another seizure and his heart rate doubled what it was supposed to and he wasn't getting blood to his head. He wasn't able to breathe on his own. He passed away shortly after.

Rush was loved by literal thousands of people. He would show anyone affection that needed it. He loved cuddles, belly rubs, chase, walks and he loved loved sunbathing outside. Thanks everyone for making my little man feel so cared for and so loved and supported throughout the years.

I'm going to get off social media for a while. Be kind to one another.

RUSH UPDATE: Some good news in the middle of a tough situation — we met with the oncologist, and she’s very confident that Rush is a great candidate for SRT (stereotactic radiation therapy) and is likely to respond well to it. I asked about his quality of life, and she assured us that once the radiation starts shrinking the tumor, we should see him return to his usual self.

His life expectancy with treatment is 20+ months, which would make him around 13 — and she’s seen dogs in similar situations live even longer. For us, quality of life is the most important thing, and this gives him a real chance to enjoy his senior years.

We’ve decided to move forward with the treatment. He’ll get his CT scan tomorrow and begin radiation shortly after. The SRT treatment is non-invasive, requires only 3 to 5 sessions, and he’ll be able to come home each day after. While results won’t be immediate, he’ll stay on steroids to help manage symptoms in the meantime.

His tumor is located toward the back of his head, which is generally a more favorable location for positive treatment outcomes. Tumors in the frontal region tend to be more concerning. The size of the tumor is 16x17x17 cm. The location of the Tumor explains why he is having so much motor skill problems and the pain is in the lower back/hip region.

I personally want to thank each and everyone of you who have took the time to reach out, pray or put good thoughts out into the universe, say kind words, share or donate to his GofundMe. We honestly appreciate every single one of you. I can't say thank you enough, really.

Dad can't sleep he's anxious and stressed but he was going through old photos and videos and found this cute one of Puppy Rush learning how to socialize for the first time.

If Rush has ever made you laugh, smile or any other emotion please consider donating to helping Rush get help with his Meningioma (Brain Tumor). Give him a fighting chance to live out his senior years in peace.

We meet up with Oncology on Wednesday but one thing we know is his insurance won't pay for it all. His MRI and 2 ER visits took a good chunk of his insurance. We are asking for any help you can give, even sharing and spreading the word helps our little guy get the treatment he needs and deserves

We have shared him and his sister with you all for over 10 years and I don't need to tell you how special he is you already know. I want to say thank you to everyone who donates and/or shares. It means the world to us and means the world to Rush.

Please Share it goes a long way
