His name was Skeets.
He was 13.5 years old.
Skeets was a rescue shelter dog, I never met a heart hard enough that he couldn’t open.

    Thanks for taking Skeets home from the shelter when you did. <3

    Know how you feel when you call Skeets your "best friend". We have had to part with several best friends over the years. Both you Skeets are lucky to have had him in your life for those years.
    Yep, my name really is Bob.

    I'm so sorry to read this. I also know how much those little people in fur coats tug at your heartstrings when they leave us. May Skeets RIP/

    Thank you all for the kind words and heart felt comments.

    This may sound stupid to non-pet owners but I wouldn't have had this any other way...
    We're so glad he didn't pass in the middle of the night while we were asleep. He died in our arms, being petted and told what a great job he did and how much he's loved.

    Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.

    ^^^^^ Totally understand as I did the same thing 4.5 months ago with my little fur baby. Truly heartbreaking but I wouldn't have it any other way either.

    My condolences. Can say it is one of the hardest things I've had to do. Looks like he was a happy doggo though 😊
