sad day.

We've had a rough two days.

I remember thinking when Gage was a baby that it was no fair that just when he would be able to play with Bruce and love him, Bruce would most likely reach his life expectancy. We figured and hoped Bruce would make it until Gage was two.

This summer has been hard on Bruce. He's been moving slower and you can see he is just getting old. :(

Yesterday Bruce got really sick. He stopped eating, drinking, moving. He's not going to make it. We've shed lots of tears, had lots of regrets for the lack of pictures we have taken, and now we are waiting. We are taking him to the vet in an hour or so (we need help. It's not easy to move a 200lb dog) and I am certain they will euthanize him. He is miserable. His arthritis is terrible and he won't eat anything to take pills.

We are sad. Gage is going to be heart broken (how do you even explain that to a two year old!).

To remember the good days, here is some photos of Bruce!

We love you Bruce! We'll miss you terribly. We could never find another dog to take your place. I wish Gage had more of a chance to know and love you.
