| Sirius Black was a 10th month old goofball who didn't want to do anything but run when I got him. Half Mastiff and half Lab, he was the calmest, smartest, and best companion I'll ever have. We had wonderful adventures together - he loved camping, going on trails with the horses and tending all of my livestock. He was a gentle mentor to all the dogs that passed through our lives for the past 16 years. He was showing his age a bit, but was happy and healthy until a couple of weeks ago and then he went down fast. The vet came yesterday. And I'm sitting here drinking my morning coffee and I don't have my big beautiful dog on my feet. My heart is broken. [link] [comments] |
