“Every once in a while a dog enters your life and changes everything”

I can’t really say that I have been fortunate enough to experience the MegaE bond personally. To say such a thing, I would be quite a fraud. I’ve been a active stalker of sorts. I’ve read the trials and tribulations of hundreds of MegaE parents over the last several years.  I’ve cried with them when they’ve lost their beloved pups. I’ve rejoiced with them when they’ve had a “regurg” free day! A greater love between a human and an animal, I have never witnessed before in my life.

Eating, being the most essential element to living for all human creatures, can you imagine not being able to swallow your food? The hours spent preparing and feeding their dogs is to be greatly admired.  The sacrifices they make financially, emotionally and physically are far more than they would do for themselves.

And if you asked them…Was it worth it? You will get a unanimous YES, without hesitation. All those sleepless nights, piles of vomit they’ve “squeegeed” off their carpets, all the sheets and linens they’ve washed, vet bills coming out of their ears and still they wouldn’t change a thing.

Why then do they do it? It’s that unconditional love and loyalty that these dogs exude towards their humans. That wiggle butt when they see you come in the door (even if you just stepped out to get the mail). It’s the look of love in their eyes as you feed them and stay up with them when they are sick. It truly is a special bond. A bond that cannot be broken. From all accounts, it is a bond that last forever.

We were fortunate my husband and I, that our Kodi did not develop megaesophagus with myasthenia gravis. I always say everything works out for a reason in life. We all serve a purpose here on this planet. I guess it was the plan that I would be the “observer” and the “story teller” so others can learn about canine megaesophagus and this community of special people and their pups.
