Coming in a bit late today. Had to tipple a few back in honor of our 13 year old Whippet who we had to put down yesterday who had been going down hill from kidney failure for 10 months. Kinda sucks but no more pain for that sweet little gal. 13 years is 91 in dog years! Not a bad run. As much as that sucks the silver lining is maybe my wife will go on vacation with me again?

Sorry to hear about your Whippet. I’ve found the end varies a surprising amount…the more a doggo has enriched your life the more it hurts.
Yeah knowing we entered the final chapter 9/10 months ago softened the blow some. As much as that dog was sweet and gentle and timid she and I were roommates because it was 100% the wife's dog and they were inseparable. I'm just a cat herder over here. Lol.
