This is Alfie …

I will make this short.

Knowing the practicalities of having a dog, I have long dreaded what went down this week.

We had to say good by to Alfie. (June 11, 2024)

The process is a game of flooding emotions.

He wasn’t eating.

His bloodwork showed elevated kidney levels and he was suffering.

The next day would be the day.

A whole day and a half trying to imagine not having him.

I’ve been wandering around the house, staying busy but it seems so weird without him.

His presence, energy, cuteness, all gone.

If I could do it over again I would start this minute because this is painful.

It comes in waves.

Everyone knows…

that’s how it goes.

Thanks for listening.

More Alfie…

When will you be coming back? I would prefer to go with you.

Having a great time! Wish you were here!

She picked me out because I barked a lot and caught her eye.
