2005ish - 2019
Augie crossed over the rainbow bridge this afternoon. Many, many tears were shed as Petey and I kissed and hugged him and whispered "I Love You" into his ears.
Augie had been losing weight since last spring and some gastro issues finally led us to our local vet.
Cancer.
We kept him as comfortable as possible and spoiled him even more than over the past 10+ years.
Augie was only the 3rd pet in our 51 year marriage but our relationship with him was different because, as retirees, we spent much more time with him. It was a very strong bond.
As a rescue from a puppy mill he put us through our paces.
He tried our patience at times - so much so that we were considering changing his name to "Damn-it-Augie."
He was a cuddle bunny and we'll both miss him whenever we sit down - he was always attached to one of our thighs.
Good-bye, sweet boy.
