Said goodbye to our dog today

[clh2]

We adopted our dog when he was 8 years old, from a local humane society. I still swear that he is the one who picked our family out when we were at the humane society. It was love at first sight.

He was a "mama's boy" all the way.

He had been having some issues for a couple of months - vet thought it was the "doggie" equivalent of an ACL tear. We actually had an x-ray taken last week, and it was actually bone cancer, and quite advanced at that.

Despite the pain that the vet said he was most likely in, our guy was quite happy to the end.

(photo is a couple of years old, but it has always been one of my favorites!)

We enjoyed him for 4 years, he had just turned 12.

It was definitely the right decision. Doesn't make it any easier, though.

I'm so sorry. You did a wonderful thing adopting your baby, and he in turn, loved you all until the end.

Take care.

Sounds like he picked a good family Sorry for your loss. I love rescue dogs they always seem so grateful like they know you saved them.

So sorry for your loss... you guys were wonderful to adopt an older dog (we adopted a 12yr old and a 10yr old dog over the years). Love your picture of him - it is precious.

I'm so sorry! I love the smile he has in the picture.

You are GOOD PEOPLE to have given him four years of love and care, many older pets never get adopted. He was a beautiful boy.

I am so sorry for your loss. Maybe he is playing with my pups right now while they wait for us.
