Gizmo was a little Mexican dog who looked like Gizmo in the movie Gremlins. The kids loved him and loved to play with him. It all started when my daughter Lorri went camping with her in-laws in Texas. They left Saturday morning, drove the 20 miles or so to get there and set up camp. Hiked, played ate and had a good time. The only problem was there were fire ants at the site so you had to be careful not to setp, lay or sit on them unless you enjoyed the pain from being bitten. Mom-in-law deceided to put out ant poison to keep the ants at their distance. Yep you guessed it (they think) Gizmo ate some. No one knew and he started to cry as if in pain. My daughter picked him up a cuddled him, tried to put him down but he couldn't walk. In the area where they live there are no emergency vets, so the play was to bring home and take him to the vet on Monday. Well the poor little guy didn't even make it home. He passed on the way. The kids of course were very upset and mom-in-law kept saying "and we paid $400.00 for him". Yeah this is a women who doesn't believe dogs belong in the house. She had it for one week and couldn't stand it so she sold it to her son and my daughter for $100.00. I see it as she is only out $300.00 since her son paid her the $100.00 for it. My daughter knows that it will all be put on her because she wasn't watching the dog. Well anyway Lorri and the kids had a funeral for Gizmo and he is buried under the apple tree in their huge back yard the overlooks a pasture with cows and a view of the brewery where they make Shiner beer. At this point all they can do is go on with their lives. Rest In Peace Gizmo. You were a good dog!
P.S. Mom in law wants to buy another dog and maybe litter box train it.
