On May 23 around 11:30pm, my dog, Leo, passed away peacefully at the age of 11 years and 4 months. It was really sad, but I'm glad he passed away at home beside my family.
We had him when I was in junior-high school and we already had another golden-retriever named Belle who was two years older than him. They were good friends (though she always tried to steal Leo's meal...).
She passed away five years ago, 2005. The date when she died was really close to Leo's.. She died on May 18. They also both died in the same disease.. Leo was looking for Belle, looking confused, after she passed away.. But I believe Leo could finally meet Belle. I told Leo to say hi to Belle.
It's sad to see your own pet die. You would almost not want to have another one again. But it will be for sure worth having a pet you will be so attached to even if they will die someday probably before you.
I'll miss you a lot,
but thank you so much and good-bye, Leo!
