Had a beagle/Shepard mix that passed while I was away at college and my folks didn’t tell me till I got home .... He was about 15/16. He was an outside dog and to this day I feel like I neglected him growing up... Don’t know if its because I was gone when he passed or because I didn’t do what is expected in today’s society in caring for him. Loved that ol mutt ... Got’em when I was about four - dads insistence over moms objections as I understood.
“Loved that ol mutt”
