Lost my companion
My beautiful yellow labrador was put down by the vet this morning. His 12 year old legs and kidneys just gave out. It was so sad to see him and so hard to say goodbye.
He was a real companion. During my chronic drinking and spells of incapacity he would lie by my bed or lie his head on my knee. Such a kind gentle spirit.
I was truly blessed to have him.
I'm not going to drink on it - I want to remember him as he was, and not blot him out.
Life is so hard sometimes.
