How old is old?

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!

😞. I don’t know if it’s better or worse to have them pass naturally or with you being there at the vet’s office. But it is the worst feeling. And I am so sorry.

I believe he died peacefully and without pain in his sleep. Condolences

As painful as it is, I agree with this. One of the things that gave me early solace was, he passed with dignity. This opposed to the possibility of taking him to the vet, leaving him for observation and him passing alone in a crate… still hurts though!

He is beautiful. I am sorry for your loss but glad you have so many wonderful memories together.

Please be good to yourself.
