It was one year ago today, after having him for just 14 months, that we had to put Wally down. If you haven't had to make that decision, and take a beloved pet to a place to have its life terminated, and sit there and watch it die, then I can't think of a way to explain how excruciating an experience it is. I miss you, Little Bear.
My wife says this picture shows his soul. I agree.
I think he fell asleep licking the pillow.
Wally's literary appetite was insatiable. I've still never met a more well-read dog.
I was there for the departure of two of my beloved dogs. They tell you when it's time. I still think, "well, maybe we could have just waited..." but we did the right thing by them. I think it's way more difficult for us in the end but I know all doggies go to heaven and they're frolicking on a beach or in a meadow (well, in my mind anyway).
ReplyDeleteThis made me so sad. I cherish every moment I have with Princess Fancy Feast. When she goes, I will be devastated.
ReplyDeleteRIP Wally. And hugs to you guys.
