Today we euthanized our oldest dog, PJ age approx 23

Today was a day we were hoping would never come, today we put down our 23 yr old Shitzu poodle cross, PJ. My husband rescued him from the Edmonton SPCA in 1992, he was a stray, and they estimated his age at a conservative 6. At age 6 his teeth were already rotten, and I didn't meet my husband till 2000, so he was 14 when I met him. He was still like a puppy, playful, kooky, huge separation anxiety, he hated us leaving the house without him, but just for a bit, once we were gone he never got destructive, just went about the house, chewing on a bone, playing with his food,or his favorite, a nice cozy nap!

So today is a day to grieve for PJ, the undocumented world's oldest dog, the documented most loved dog in our pack.
