And Then We Were Three...

Today's Picture of the Day is being pre-empted by some very sad news.

It's been a long 24 hours.

After his evening walk last night, Otis had a hard time breathing.  We took him to the Emergency Vet and they had to put him on a ventilator overnight just so he could breathe.  He was off it long enough to go to his regular vet, but he was gasping for every breath.

The choice was very clear, we could not let Otis suffer like that.

He was with us just over eight years.  Every single day we feel blessed to have him in our family.
