Henry

Dec 31, 2002 12:18

Henry was euthanised on Sunday afternoon at 5:04. He went very peacefully and was happy to have me there (yes, I could tell). He also sent to the Great Beyond with a belly full of his favourite treat, a MacDonalds vanilla shake.

I'm grieving deeply, but I feel that I did the right thing since Henry wasn't in the suffering stage of his cancer, yet had only about 2 weeks left to live. His last two weeks would have been painful and unhappy...and that's the last thing I wanted for such a sweet dog.

So here's a pic of him and his companion, Daisy, who has been wandering the house looking for her friend these past couple of days. Henry is the black "Blue Tick" Beagle on the left. And, yes, that's a Kibbles'n'Bits box. Even though they had 'proper' dog beds, the Beagles liked this cardboard box more than anything.

Such down-to-Earth creatures, Beagles......

dogs, death, henry
