[Dailydrool] Sad day

[Lauraine Snelling]

We've know this day was coming but there is no way to prepare for the grief of 
sending our Sir Chewey ob de Mountains on his journey to the bridge yesterday 
afternoon. Had an appointment with our vetman in the morning and he said 
Chewey's mouth was full of ulcers and either fluid or cancer metastisized to one 
lung. The tumor was closing off his throat and had grown out the side of his 
mouth too. He had to be masking terrible pain, I know how much a stupid canker 
sore hurts. He was now losing weight too. He has held on so long and so 
valiantly. Everyone who knows us and him has called him a miracle dog. the vet 
thought he would be gone by Christmas. We had hoped he would just slip away one 
night in his sleep but that wasn't to be. The house is so empty, other than us 
drowning in tears. Today was better than yesterday.  I know so many of you have 
endured this lately. No easy answers but getting through this. Hug on your 
hounds and thank you all for sharing our love and joy and exasperation at times, 
with these funny hounds. He sure leaves a big hole behind.
blessings, Wayne and Lauraine and Sir Chewey ob de Mountains ATB. Woofer ATB 
too.
