Today was sad as we had to put Spotty Dog down. In the last days he had lost the use of his hind legs and was suffering so the time had truly arrived. He was, however, lucid which made it all the harder.
I must admit to shedding a tear or two. It seems maudlin to do so over a dog but Spotty and Minnie were great dogs and in the winter we all live here together, humans and dogs, and it is a great time!
By coincidence Spotty’s end arrived when Jonas, the boy to whom Spotty was completely devoted, was here. Spotty was put down at the back of the Red Bungalow with us, and Jonas and Haike to keep him company.
It is a bit like ’Puff the Magic Dragon’, one day it did happen and Spotty will come to the back of the Red Bungalow no more.
