I'm sorry for your loss. Wally looks like a sweet pup.
He was. One of the better dogs I’ve ever owned. Was in effect a therapy dog for our other pup that struggles with people. And always more tolerant than he should have been with the kids.
It was a long time coming. He had tumors in his throat and nose and eventually his quality of life suffered too much. Just sucks.
He’s also the first death that hit my youngins hard. My 5 year old has struggled the most. Has some disturbing anecdotes since. Having to choke back your own thoughts/processing to explain it to kids is hard. Harder than I thought
