Today Smitty lost his best friend, our precious little Gus. We were lucky to have him for a little less than a year, and Smitty was devoted to him.
He must have sensed he had cancer, because he followed Gus everywhere, slept beside him and constantly licking his back, as if he knew there was cancer raging in there.
Gus's and Smitty's last week together was a very good week. We went to the park and the two of them were wagging furiously and pouncing around the tall grass after field mice.
His last meal was steak and ice cream. Why not! We miss him terribly already and will never forget being blessed by Gus and his happy go lucky, sweet little ways!
