Today, we lost a dear member of our family. Lucky, Grandma & Papa's 12 y.o. male Boston Terrier died in his sleep early this evening. Grandma & Papa are on a vacation trip, so Mommy, Jules & Kitty are watching the dogs and house.
It wasn't much of a surprise. Lucky had been declining quickly in the past few days. He had had a stroke a few weeks before that affected his motor control in his back legs.
At least he died in his sleep. Mommy had prayed for such, wanting him to go, if it was his time, without any pain. He was so lost near the end, not knowing where he was and often walking, as best he could, in circles, with his eyes closed. We hope that he knew he was loved and was not alone. He did respond a bit to touch. He is going to be cremated and returned to be buried in the backyard with his mother and aunt.
He is much loved and was a wonderful companion.
Another sad note - Grandma P suffered a familial tragedy as well. It is a very sad day.
We thank God for allowing us the honor of knowing those who have gone back to him. They will be sorely missed.
