Saying goodbye to my close friend

[Bygracealone]

Well guys, this is a rather sad day for me. I had to put my dog down. He had been getting weak and out of breath over the last couple of weeks. The vet thought he had a cold, then discovered he had a thyroid problem so we began treatment for those things. But after a round of antibiotics and some thyroid meds his health continued to degenerate, so we ran some more tests. He was so weak he couldn't make it down the steps of our house. So, today, I carried him to the car not realizing it would be the last time I'd see him. The vet took some x-rays and discovered he had lung cancer. I had no choice, he had to be put down.

He was a faithful friend for every second of just about 12 years. There's no exaggeration when people say that a dog is man's best friend. I'm going to miss him greatly.

I just thought I'd share the news...
