I have an aging Chocolate lab who’s nearing the end of days. He has a great spirit, but the body’s breaking down. Not looking forward to the end, but I know he’s had a great run. I think he knows it too.
We still miss old Prior Lake Jake, our Golden Retriever.
At age eight or so, he developed a fast growing cancer on his jaw that couldn’t be surgically removed.
He had a last swim in the lake when our son came home from college for the summer and then we had him put down.
