On Monday 10/19 we lost our beloved doggo Fatty. He developed a perineal hernia and would have required a surgery to save his life but would only be temporary. We made the painful choice of putting him down.
He was the bestest of best good boys. He was almost human in his expressions. You could have a full conversation with him, even an argument. He was the most amazing dog I have ever known and it was a blessing to have had him as part of our family for almost 12 years.
I imagine him running free and chasing animals, never stopped by a fence, never controlled by a human. Absolute freedom for his spirit which refused to be tamed. There will never be another like him and his presence is deeply missed.
He was laid to rest in his favorite sunny patch in the backyard.
