I write this with tears in my eyes as today I lost the best friend I had. He never got mad at me. He was always happy to see me when I got home with his wagging tail of joy. He was my beloved companion. He has been in a fight with CANCER for over a year and it was a fight he nor us could win. He did not deserve this nor did he ask for this, it just happened. We had his tumor removed only a few months ago only to have it return in full force again. Along with it he developed many more tumors that were not related to the original one. He also developed ligament problems in his left hind knee. The past few days have been very hard and very unforgiving to such a good animal where as he had a hard time laying down and even a harder time getting back up. His appetite went to nothing and hardly ate a thing the past three days. But with all of this happening to him, he still happily went and got my slippers for me every night. He still got the ball so I could play with him, only to tire and lay down after one throw. He trusted us with his life this morning and happily went with us to the vet's office. Was he happy to go for the ride or did he know the fate which would be coming shortly and know that his pain would soon be gone? Did he sense the sadness which we tried to hold in when we got there? He wagged his tail and looked at us as we left him there to have his pain disappear forever. We miss you Aspen and you will never be forgotten for the joy you gave to us and for being the best friend any person could ever ask for. May GOD bless you and be with you.
