a few years ago our chihuahua started going down hill, could tell what was wrong with him and the vets couldn't , but he gradually got worse, lethargic etc. he was 10, so not super old. 

one Friday night I could see he was having trouble holding his head up and I knew he was on his way.

I called down the wife, got the kids in and we all sat with him together with him for like an hour , looking at pictures of him when he was a puppy snd funny pictures of us together.

and he quietly passed away.

we all miss him but I was at least pleased we were all with him, together 🧡
