Guest DarkHorse Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 On Saturday, we said goodbye to Dexter. We found out on the 27th of October that he had cancer. We were hoping to get another few weeks or even months with him, but over the course of the week, his appetite disappeared and he was showing signs of being in pain. We were able to give him a "movie night" complete with the popcorn he loved, a steak dinner, a last walk without his annoying little brothers, and some Sausage McMuffins before he went. He left us the way he lived the last few years, peacefully with his head in my lap. He will be missed. Dexter when he first came home. Dexter at a greyhound run. At the adoption group picnic in June. At the picnic again. Getting a Timbit in August. His steak dinner. Goodbye, sweet boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
