It's hard to say goodbye after 17 years.
Even if you knew it was coming.
I took him to my old vet, not the new one, because I remembered how good he had been with Waldo at the end, 8 years ago. The staff were caring. Luther did not seem overly frightened from the car ride or the barking dogs as we awaited his sad fate together. There was a small window that looked out on the parking lot, and beyond that, a bit of woods, and together we looked out that window for quite some time, given some privacy before the end.
Not much more can be said right now, except my heart feels like it's been ripped out.
He was a good boy, and he had a good run.
