I’ve talked a lot about my OTRB albatross, so I@ going to make a post(s) about it. It’s a long story and lots of pics so stay tuned. This is when mom first got albatross. He was a puppy mill breeder rescued at the age of 4 and turns out was deaf. While in foster care no one....

Seemed willing to adopt him so mom went for it being a 20 yr old in grad school in an apartment. She was tenacious and got to adopt him right before Christmas 2012. Everyone he met was an automatic friend, all animals and humans. He was deaf and quirky but the sweetest most...

Most gentle soul. He didn’t know what stairs were, what treats or toys were, only pottied once a day, and didn’t know what to do with attention and affection. Despite all this he willingly went up to everyone and every animal, automatic friends. Mom loves him and tries to spoil..

Him as best she could. He deserved the world because he lived in hell and still cane out just a loving sweet soul. He still never picked up on toys but fell In

with peanut butter, earring my school notes, and cuddling. He even began barking though he couldn’t hear himself..

Mom took him everyeheee with her, driving everywhere and choosing only dog friendly places. He loved going on walks, would hold his treat in his mouth the whole walk and eat it only after. Mostly he loved meeting people while on walks. At this time mom noticed some quirks..

He would rub his ears on the walls and scratch behind where his ears were and his legs began to weaken. When he pottied he would spin in circles almost 50 times before going potty. When mom took him to a vet for a check up she mentioned these quirks cuz she thought they ...

We’re cute. The vet looked at her after this with dad eyes and moms heart broke. That is when she learned about syringomyelia. She researched and studied it as a Ned student but found nothing. She realized she was going to watch him slowly die, this perfect sweet angel...

Mom@strived to give him the best life possible. She met dad a little over a year over adopting him and they eventually agreed to share her heart. He thank dog was never in pain but his legs started to really fail him. Walks were limited and mom would pick him up but he was ok...

Then suddenly he started wanting a lot more kennel time, because his upbringing he liked enclosed spaces. Mom started to carry and hold him to potty and eat, but he still wasn’t in pain and could walk a little. Mom decided he needed me to put a pep in his step...

He went with to pick me up. I loved him immediately! He.. tolerated me. He was declining but mom kept denying it but he was not in pain. I loved snuggling with him and tried bringing him mice I found and I think eventually he loved me. Mom and dad then got married ..

I was 1 years old and full of energy. Albie had to be carried by mom everywhere to potty, eat, drink, etc. I still was obsessed with my brofur but dad and I became increasingly concerned. Mom got up 10 times a night but albs was worth it. When mom and dad got married mom went..

Vacation with her mom and sibling to Arizona to whitewater raft and when she returned she finally saw the decline albs had been going through. She now carries him everywhere and he had to wear a diaper. He still want in pain though so mom cling to that...

In 10/2017 even after mom made a wheelchair for albs he couldn’t do anything. Dad made the hard decision for mom and scheduled an appt. mom cried for days and even dad was shook up. He wasn’t in pain but if u looked into his eyes you could see the difference. He was tired..
