Many of you might remember the mentioning of my beloved Rambo, who was a stray and found love and safety at our home almost 12 years ago.
I took him on his last ride this morning.
Besides getting on up in age, being a diabetic and losing his sight, sneezing blood from his nose a few times,he had developed several tumors inside and outside his body over the last year. One on the left rear leg joint had been getting bigger and bigger and finally erupted the other night when he jumped out of the car. The bandage shown is where the tumor was.
While I don't think he yet felt any pain, the vet said he could eventually.
I'll certainly miss his companionship and am sure Buffy, Fifi and Marbella will be waiting on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge for him.
Update - Mon., Nov. 19. I had Rambo cremated and picked up his ashes today.
