A sad day today. Brandon is no longer with us. His life was a great one, for over 13 years, but in the end, the cancer proved to be far to taxing on his little body. After finding it had spread to his lungs just 4 weeks ago, it has been a month long "party" to get to do things he didn't normally get to do.

And after a very rapid decline in health in just 2 days, the decision was made. The decision was originally for yesterday, but being a holiday, I wanted the comfortness of my vet, not a vet with whom I have no connection with, to be the one to help me say goodbye. I am glad I made this decision as last night, Brandon was doing some of the puppy behavior he did when he was young. Despite not being able to keep some of his food down all of the time, it was hard for him to pass up a treat. Instead of eating them, he reverted back to his puppy days and tried to bury them in different corners of the house. He would try to bury them with his nose, despite not being able to cover them up. Not having a video camera when he was a pup to capture this funny scenario, I am pleased to have gotten a small portion of this action.

It is with a very sad heart that I say goodbye forever, but to never be forgotten.

Miss you dearly, bud.
