Aww that's really nice @Bentleyspop - I've gotta admit that not a day goes by when this doesn't cross my mind. My little dog does everything with me, he's 11, and everyday his prescence is just such a blessing. I don't ever want to be without him and I know that one day, sadly, he will leave a wide gaping hole in my life. I couldn't ask for a better friend, he's exceeded all my expectations of having a pet pooch and I love him so much.

He was in a Colorado Brewery Dog Calendar in 2014 I believe.

2 weeks ago Bentleys Excellent Adventure came to an end. He was almost 17. He was mostly deaf, the hips were shot, and the vet a year ago said he had a tumor. And every few months he would have what could best be described as a neurological event. But he would recover and we would go on albeit slower and slower. After the most recent event I came to the decision that it was time. Getting him to 17 or even just a couple of more weeks wasn't going to do him or me or anyone any good. I made the appointment for the home euthanasia vet through tears but once I did it a weight seemed to lift.
On his last night he got some of his favorite food which he had not been allowed for a couple of years. Steak, popcorn, and some ice cream. We were up early and spent some time outside. The vet showed up and 20 minutes later he was gone. After 15+ years together it was over. We had climbed mountains together (including the highest in the continental U.S.) We had swum in rivers, lakes, and streams. We had visited and hung out in many many craft breweries and dined on lots of restaurant patios. He had chased bears, deer, elk, foxes, moose, sheep, and of course tried to herd some cattle. He enjoyed people, animals and car rides
He will be missed.
awww sorry man. Least you gave him a good life and vice versa
