May he rest in peace, and may your grief be short.

He isn't ready to go yet and still struggles to stand up and move around. However, I am worn down after this long time and can barely pick him up and move him around. He is going to the vet's in half an hour to be euthanized. I've never done this before.
He's been my dog for over 14 years, from before he was born as his mother and father were mine too. His mother, Scoobie, died two years ago at the ripe old age of 16. His father, Tiggerman, died seven years ago at the ripe old age of 24.
He's been a good boy, a good friend, well-behaved, sweet and gentle natured. His job was to stand in the window and send a reverberating growl or bark out of the house to frighten would be intruders. He did that job well. All he really wanted to be was a tiny little thing that could fit in my pocket so I could carry him around with me wherever I went. But, he was a big boy - 180 lbs. of big - and strong. When he wanted to go for a run of the neighborhood, he'd tear down a kennel wall and step over the back fence. He was a sight to behold - a giant loping at full speed up and down the road.
Once, he and my two other dogs pulled a trick in the kennel before it had a concrete edge. They dug a hole in the back corner where it was dark, right at the edge so that most of the hole was on the outside of the kennel wall. Then, they pulled the bordering bushes on the oustide down to cover the hole on the outside. Pretty clever - those critters were getting out while I was away, but coming back in before I got home, sitting on the furniture pretty as you please as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. My neighbor told me he saw them running loose, though, and my neighbor doesn't make up stupid stories like that. I found their hole, filled it in and put in a concrete base so they couldn't dig out again - which is why the big dog took to tearing down the kennel wall later on. Someone remarked that dogs aren't that smart. I had to remind them that those three had nothing to do all day but contemplate for years that little escape activity.
I don't usually do the eulogy of a passing friend until after they have passed. I don't think I will be able to do it later though. I will miss him for the dog he has been all his life - strong, dedicated, full of heart, and a true friend.

are you sure this dog really exists and isn't a figment of your imagination?
Someone lost a yellow box teehee.
You need a new moral compass, it would appear
I have a new Android phone with loads of fancy sensors on it. Maybe one of them is a moral compass. Will investigate and report back.
Great Necro NEG btw.
