Had to put Jacquelita's old dog to sleep yesterday night, 3am.

The old boy put in his time, but he had just about everything a dog could have wrong - cancer, fused spine, arthritic legs. Yesterday night he sprained his front knee joint badly and couldn't move without a great deal of pain. The emergency vet agreed, it was time.

Bud will be remembered as a good dog who would not hurt a soul, who provided companionship to his family. He'll also be remembered as that dog who would lick his own feet incessantly, until he was basically eating them, and had to go into an E-collar. But mostly, he'll be remembered as having helped to define Jacquelita's life, when she rescued him from an abusive owner and put up with his various resulting mental issues, to give him a good long life he could enjoy.

Love your pets.
