So we just got back from saying goodbye to our Toby.
He kicked CKDs ass right up till the end of his wonderful 20 years of life. He was such a trooper, but we knew that his little body was done fighting, so he is now with his 2 brothers, Fritz (who left us 5 years ago) and Hank (who passed less than 2 months ago) in heaven.
He instantly loved everyone (person or animal) who came into his life, was a great friend to his brothers, even if (one in particular), was a bit of an ass to him and always loved (well...demanded) some cuddling. Even his last day, when he was no longer able to walk, he still mustered up the energy to wiggle his way as close has he could to us and reach out and grab our hand and pull it to his face with his paw for some petting. He was never satisfied unless he was in contact with us at all times. I'm going to miss his warm little body snuggled up next to me.
Both my husband and I were able to be with him right up until the end. And with the help of the kind and compassionate staff at our vet, it was very peaceful and I will always be grateful for them.
RIP Toby, we will always love you.
