Gabi’s birthday was a great success! Here she is in the backyard, unwrapping a gift.
Pappy, at 9 and a half years old, is now officially retired from jogging. He’s been slower and slower since February. Today, he took everyone on an off-the-leash walk through our jogging grounds. Camilla was the only one to keep up with him.
Coincidentally, about two hours after I posted Pappy’s retirement, I learned that Felix, my brother’s dog, had passed away. Goodbye, Felix.



I took him to the humane society to be put down. smartest thing i ever did for him. we were waiting and waiting for him to die naturally but it just wasn’t happening. too much uumph left in him to just go, but it was getting ugly. sdhs actually has a dedicated room for such services, a social worker to guide you through it and i was able to hold him through it. his ashes will be spread over the ocean.
rip felix. take care of pappy.
