Elmo.
Today my parent's put our dog Elmo down. He was the last of our original family house pets, from when Pete and I still lived at home. It's a very sad day.
I think it's hardest for my Dad. He was Elmo's favourite person. He followed my Dad everywhere and waited for him by the front door when he went out.
Elmo was very sick but wasn't in any pain. It was time. The vet came to the Tillsonburg house and put him down on the back deck in the afternoon sun.
Time isn't going to make this any better. It never does. I'll just get more used to missing him.
