The Amazing Mr Tank Nibbles
We will be laying him to rest this evening, He had a wonderful run we rescued him in 2014 and he was 5-6 maybe, he has been a wonderful dog putting up with several fosters and whatnot, a very unassuming guy he liked to be near you but never to the point of overbearing velcro , well behaved for the most part, he was a WONDERFUL walking partner we used to do 4-5 miles a day that slowly dwindled to nothing now barely able to get up and a very unsteady gait, his mind is still pretty sharp and he still wants to be near but his body is tired and this morn for the FIRST TIME EVER he did not/could not get up for his breakfast, he has been eating less and less so we have made the gut wrenching decision to let him rest, the vet will come this eve and we will pat his old head and let his tired old body rest
Mr. Tank Nibbles looks like a precious boy. I have cats, but I must say, that is one cute doggie! I am sorry you had to send him over the bridge, but it seems he lived a long and happy life. It is a gut-wrenching decision to have to make and no one can understand it unless they have been in your shoes. I like to think we will see them again one day. It is just a question of when, not if.
