Cactus Walt was his racing name but went by Walter. He was a few weeks from being 13. He had been slowing down the last few weeks so I thought it was coming. Luckily I was able to spend a little extra time with him and made sure he knew he was loved. Woke up this morning at 4 and he was hardly able to stand up. He made it outside and laid down in one of the holes he had dug. I sat with him for about 45 minutes in 30 degree weather till I knew he has for sure leaving us. Wife gave him some meds to help. For the first time in his life he let me pick him up and put him in the truck for the ride to the vet. He passed on the ride while I was petting his head. He never looked like he was in pain and was having a normal day just yesterday. Glad it went quick for him. RIP big guy. image.jpg
