Goodbye Best Boy
It's been 27 hours since he dislocated his hips. 24 hours since he spent the night whimpering in the garage. 18 hours since my dad had called me, telling me he and my mom were taking him up to the farm so they could end his pain. Today, there weren't any open clinics in the area, they were going to have to find another way to put him down.
12 hours since I received that text from my mom, "Bear is sleeping peacefully now."
And now I'm drinking to the memory of a passed family member. A golden retriever who'd serve and protect my family's yard for 14 years, and treat every stranger with a kindness you couldn't find in any other heart.
A good boy: the best boy. Here's to Bear.
