A couple years ago Solon was showing the sad signs of hips going.  He’s a big guy and I know that 10 years old made him a senior dog, so when he had taken a short turn for the worst, I shared with Steph the sad last days for my smaller Kelly of 16 years. He sustained the crisis of the moment and his decline has been very gentle. Shortly after that another of our Pixies lost a family dog and I spelled out the double hurt of waiting too long to be kind to a loved pet.
After being with Solon exactly 2 weeks ago and watching him happily and dutifully struggle with the steps to her place I recognized the state of canine senility that isn’t noticeable (or desired to be noted) on a daily basis. When she told me of this current situation and the vet saying that it require being put under for an oral operation, we both knew that alone would be less than a 50/50 chance of coming back.
We’ve discussed where love and consideration for them separates from ourselves. I prefer to recall Solon as I came to know him and hope Steph is able to find comfort equal to her courage and kindness for him.
…. Even though I hate her,
