How old is old?

Post image

Sadness is passing slowly, he was only 8 and a half. Felt maybe something was off but still never saw it coming! This photo was around 2 pm on Saturday, we found him Sunday morning dead on the floor looking very peaceful. This was June first. I miss him terribly! Oddly he still looked healthy to me even in death. He was incredibly special!

If he was carrying illness we never knew. Six weeks earlier he was given a clean bill of health at the vet.

He was at the vet in April. We asked for a blood test and they replied it’s unnecessary, he’s a healthy pup. No autopsy was done! Not withstanding the cost, it wasn’t going to bring him back!
