Tomorrow will arrive our vet to help our near eighteen year old chow-mix friend across the bridge: he's been blind, deaf, and now going into renal failure for over the course of the last year.
I hope that someone is so kind to me when my time comes.
The dog I grew with from the age of 5 to 16 passed away when I was on the road. The dog was in Norfolk, VA and I had been in Charleston, SC for about 5 days when for reasons that I still do not understand I called my mother just to ask about that dog, and he had passed when the feeling came over me the night before.
The dog wasn't sick when I left. I had a connection with that animal that transcended the miles and the spoken word.
Your family member and loyal companion was on duty all those years ready to lay down his life for you, and what you're about to do is the ultimate act of love for him.

Thanks for your thoughts, Dawg.
They are very much understood, over all the years and all the pets, and are very much appreciated.
As a chow mix was Bud good at prosecuting unwanted intrusions?
heheh - the first time a cop friend came over and Bud, snarling and barking, made it to the top of the fence, my friend remarked, "I see that you have the best possible home protection."
Before he lost his sight and hearing, we prolly could have left the place unlocked as long as Bud was on duty.
