My perfect boy was declining quickly. Had to take him to the emergency vet to let him rest. He wasn’t going to make it until Saturday. He was already getting extra spoiled today since it was my last full day with him either way. He went peacefully in my arms, in a soft blanket with some toys and greenies. I’m not at all okay and am completely devastated, but his last day wasn’t totally his worst day and I was able to be there for/with him as he crossed the rainbow bridge. Life will never be the same.

After some tests, the best boy has cancer with a side of potential heart disease. He’s comfortable and himself enough currently that it can be a controlled situation, but I’m still completely devastated. Due to his age and the issues, it’s highly likely that treatment would just further decrease his quality of life and I don’t want him to have to suffer through all of that stress at the end, after he’s been the absolute best boy anyone could ever ask for for these nearly 10 years that he’s been mine. He’s my first baby and the world will never be the same without him.

The first two pictures are today and yesterday, the rest are just a sampling of some favorites.
