[Quiet Man Cometh]

Yeah. Monty got ill for a while, I was hand feeding him with a sryinge and he was barely able to stand up since he got so weak. He lost 8 pounds, which for a small dog is a lot. They did an ultra sound and it was mostly likely stomache cancer, so we had him put down. He was 13 and already older than most of his breed gets so he had a long and healthy life up until the end.

My brother's dog is still here of course, and I look after him when I need to but I don't see myself raising another puppy right away, especially since this is still my brother's house and I don't want to spring another dog on him.

Still makes me sad to think too much about it. He was with me since I was 15 and going through all my health problems and he came up North with me when I moved. I knew he was getting near but I did hope to have another year or two with him.
