Day 268

Such a great day… After the pooch slept all night (!), we got a massage and Diohge stayed home in the kennel. No barks, no whines!!

We got home, played for a bit, napped together on the floor… Took a walk and played ball. Then we headed to Big Bowl for a free dinner and brought it home. Cleaned up a bit, tested Diohge in the crate again and am now enjoying a glass of wine.

Day 175

This kid has been smiling for 63 years the same way. Even now, while battling an aggressive cancer, he wakes up and gives us a cheesy grin. He dances to the oldies playing, tells old stories, talks alot about his tools. He tells us he loves us. And then he goes back to sleep.

I’m amazed at the grace he has in death. His doctor (of years) said that he was a leader in life and would now be a leader in death. No truer words have been spoken.

Smiling until the end…
