We had to say goodbye to our dear doggie today.
If you are a pet lover, you know how hard this can be. We have had our "puppie" since he WAS a puppie, 10 years ago, although he was a surrender to the Humane Society.
He was our constant companion and "protector." He was always ready for a snuggle, to share our apples or bananas or to run up and down the basement stairs to retrieve his bone. He "welcomed" and bossed around 2 other "brothers" who sadly passed before him.
He was due for surgery tomorrow to remove a growth under his back leg. But, unfortunately, it grew too fast and he developed 2 other significant growths within two weeks. He was in pain we decided to let his pain end.
We are brokenhearted. Please hug those you love!
