In memory of Basie

My dear old friend, Basie was put to rest today.

Over the past few days he made it clear that it was time for him to go.  I know that sounds strange to non-dog owners, but truly, they have ways of letting you know.

He was 16 or 17 - the vet estimated that he was 2 or 3 when we brought him home from the shelter. 

We have two dogs in our family, but it was known that Basie was MY dog.  So my heart is broken today as I miss him terribly.

It is heartbreaking to lose a dog. After so many happy years, you loved him enough to let him go.

He looks very intelligent and sweet. I'm so sorry for your loss. That is a long time together and it's hard to lose a friend/family member.

Thank you for the memoriam of a loving friend. I'm glad to see his face one last time. xo
