My heart is very heavy and sad; my boy went to doggy Heaven Oct. 6, 2011. Kingsley battled with syringomyelia for 2 ½ years. He had eight cysts on his spinal cord; one was the size of a quarter that rested on the back of his neck. Both knees - Patellar luxation

The night before I made the decision to send Kingsley to doggy heaven, he laid his head on my shoulder and looked at me with his sad eyes, it was like he was telling me he was warn out from this deadly disease called syringomyelia. Lilly Girl and I miss you Kingsley. R.I.P.
