I didn't know the walk on Saturday was going to be his last. I have been beside myself today, it was a gloomy day raining hard all morning-hard. At about 1 pm, the sun broke through, the skies cleared, and the rain stopped completely. I went out and man-Dante would have LOVED this day. Its about 50 degrees and the sun is shining.
This would sound crazy to anyone else but the people on this forum, but I took Dante's collar and leash out of the drawer,put it in my sweatshirt pocket, and hit the trail. I took our last walk on his 1.1 mile route that was our twice daily bonding for the last 4 months. I cried most of the way.I missed him every time I saw one of the spots he always stopped and "marked". A big lab, that used to come out and try and chase Dante on our walks, came out and started barking at me, but I looked him in the eyes and he stopped and walked away.
