Yesterday we had to sadly say goodbye to Mom's faithful companion of 17 years, Rex the Farm Dog. He had been declining over the last year or two and recently had suffered a series of what I think were minor strokes. The night before last he had a major episode after which he was unable to stand at all, and yesterday afternoon he left this world for a better one.
He was the gentlest of dogs, yet a fierce defender of his turf and his people. He was a champion mole hunter, a friend to small children, and the only dog I've ever known who had his own pet cats.
He leaves us heartbroken but better for having had him in our lives. Happy hunting, old man.
