It was hell yesterday

[bparker]

Yesterday I had to put my best friend of 14 yrs to sleep. He was old and had a condition that made him retain water. At the end he was so swollen and full of water that his weight had doubled.

I made him a bed in the back of the H3, loaded him up as he could barely get around and certianly couldnt jump into the Hummer any more and slowly drove to the hospital.

I went in and explained to them that he couldnt move much and it was too hard on him to carry him in so they came out to the parking lot.

I jumped in the back and put his head on my shoulder as they put the neddle in his arm and within 3 secs he collapsed all of his weight on me as I hugged him for about 5 mins till I was sure he was gone.

We took him out to my parents property and dug him a nice spot under a huge tree with the front end loader and put him to rest.

I will miss him,
