RIP


Sparky died yesterday. For nine months or so he had been acting strangely and losing weight. We recently found out that he was more likely 10-12 years old instead of the 8 years old that we thought he was. Yesterday he was not walking right, had a very tight, tender abdomen, and would not lay down. We took him to an emergency pet hospital and came to the conclusion that he very likely had something pretty bad going on. We decided to euthanize him as he was clearly uncomfortable and in pain.

    Aww, I'm sorry you guys. At least he's not in pain any more. Has Ava noticed her brother's missing?

    Awww Sparks, I will miss you. I'll remember you most for having the worst possible dog gas ever. That is so sad, but I'm glad that he didn't have to suffer for too long and that he's not suffering anymore.

    Sarah- Sparky was the quiet (we always called him persistently lazy) one.
