Bye, buddy

Jan 22, 2008 18:15

I had my dog Beckett put down yesterday. He was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on his skull last May, and was originally given a prognosis of a couple of months. As he was already 11, and treatment would have involved drilling out a large part of his skull and massive amounts of chemotherapy, I elected to let nature take its course. That course is now run, and he's now hopefully eating an unlimited supply of bacon wrapped BBQ ribs in doggy heaven.

I got him when he was two months old. He and Kira (my other dog) were regulars at the Netscape campus Back In The Day, and have been good-natured participants in many an adventure over the years. Not to mention being experts at happily overwhelming us and our guests with doggy farts.

I'll miss you, buddy...
