Murphy

We had to put little Murph to sleep yesterday. He had been having all sorts of problems last week, and finally made it very clear that it was time by refusing to eat this past weekend. He spent the weekend in the care of Dad while Mom and I were at the ranch, and we returned to find him calm and seemingly not in pain, but ready to be done. Mom sat in the hallway when we got back and he let her hold and cuddle him like he hasn't submitted to in years. He spent Sunday night snuggled between them on the couch, probably trying to reassure them.

On Friday before Mom and I left for the ranch, I got one last picture with Murphy.
