It is now July 13th. My dog Diesel seems to be going downhill this week with his heart failure and diabetes.His breathing is labored. His appetite is diminished today. The end is near.
And it hurts me.
I am thinking about all my previous pets. I was attached to them all but this little guy and I bonded the first time I saw him sitting by the front door waiting for a walk as a young pup.
I just read an article the other day in the local Florida Today newspaper about some people on Merritt Island who let their dogs die in a fire. There were over 50 dogs. I am not sure how anyone can adequately care for 50 dogs.
I will not judge their motivation although I wonder if they really knew any of them the way I know Diesel!
