I live in MO with my husband and new our puppy, Gracie. We lost our other puppy, Elvis, to a immune-disorder in (06/2008); he didn't even make it to a year old. It was devastating. I love all animals!

Elvis's Details

Type: Dog | Breed: Miniature Schnauzer | Born: Jun 28, 2007 | Gender: Male

Pet War Standings: 71 wins | 66 losses | rank: 45095

Nickname: Elvie

Description: Elvis is a purebred, white miniature schnauzer. He is the smartest dog that I've ever had! He had an autoimmune disorder called Immune-Mediated Polyarthritis. This is very hard to diagnose; it took us 5 vets, over 20 visits, and over $2000 to find out what was wrong with him. He was doing great for a while, but we recently had to make the hardest decision of our lives and have him put to sleep. His body stopped responding to the medications, and there was nothing that the vets could do. :*(
