We put Cory down tonight, he has had cancer for a long time and this has been something that I have expected for a while. I thought that would make it easier when it actually did happen but it didnt. It made it worse that it took me over 3 hours to drive from UW to olympia (it usually takes a little over an hour) so I got there after the vet and only had a couple minutes to say good-bye. fucking traffic. he was only 6 years old and he was always so happy, our entire neighborhood fell in love with him right away. He was especially happy this last year in olympia where he was spoiled by all the people on our street and he could go out on the beach whenever. I will miss him.
