I have to put my best friend of the last decade down in the morning. Doc has been the best dog I’ve ever had, basset hound that’ll end up just short of 11 years. He’s been with me to close out my 20s, break in my 40s, 3 houses, a marriage, and hung around just long enough to meet my son this year. Damn this never gets easier, this will be the first time I’ve had one not go out naturally so tomorrow will suck big time.
