I see it in his eyes and every move he makes.
He has been a very loyal Mate and I am crying knowing what I have to do to ease his pain.

I'll bury him next to Babe, my White Huskie, who pasted a few years back.

Both Storm and Babe were with me working on GWX stuff.

I'd rather lose an arm then lose my best friend but I don't have that choice.

It really is a shame they don't live longer. The flame that is theiir life doesn't last as long as we'd like, but it burns brighter then any other companion you could have save ones spouse. Dogs, are the very definition of unconditional loyalty. They'd stay by your side through thick and thin, no matter what. You couldn't ask more of anything in life. To blatantly butcher a famous quote, - try not to mourn a dog who dies. Rather be thankful that he ever lived. Honor him for his loyalty, and when your ready, find and raise a new dog.
