my little shih tzu was diagnosed with kidney failure when he was only 4-6 months old when we first brought him home. vet's said he wouldn't make it to 1 year old.

he proved them wrong and strived well beyond that. he lived for 5.5 years. Last week, his kidneys finally gave out and he started losing the fight really fast. renal failure is a beyotch.

you are greatly missed benny.
