Yesterday morning, I lost one of my dear Chihuahuas, Alex. He had been a member of my family for nearly 9 years and was at least 15 years old though the vet thought he was several years older. So he was old and a chubster but it was still quite the shock. I'm doing okay, mostly, but I'm feeling extremely sad about the loss. I feel blessed to still have my sweet Chico and will cherish the remaining time I have with him.
Goodbye, Alex. I love you very much and will miss you terribly.
