An appointment with hell

[Blueface]

It is now over.
He is hopefully in doggie heaven at this moment.

It was the toughest thing I had to do other than witness my mother in law's passing.

What made it a bit easier on me was actually Champ himself. He would always shiver the whole way to the vet or groomer. Always, without an exception.

Today for the very first time was that exception. His calm was surreal. Almost as if though he knew he would soon be at peace. There were plenty of us there with him from the family and my wife going with me certainly helped tremendously.

It truly hurts to have lost him but I knew this day would come. I am going to work hard on focusing on all the great memories he has left us with to help console me.

Farewell my little grumpy old man as we lovingly referred to you.
R.I.P. Champ.
