Sad day for the Rat Dog Pack

Today we had to have Shoebert euthanized.  He was fifteen and had been in poor health.  The vet let me hold Shoebert the entire time.  First there was a shot to relax him.  After about ten minutes he was resting calmly in my arms.  Then he was given another shot that relaxed the muscles to the point that his heart stopped.  It was all painless to Shoebert. Goodbye, dear friend.  You were loved and will always be remembered.

Here are a few photos to remember him:
