We had to put my oldest dog, Rufus, to sleep on Wednesday and that was a very emotional ordeal. He was ready to go and I can be thankful he was happy, healthy and felt good up until the last week. I knew he was not doing well on Sunday,but, it was evident by Tuesday that it was time. The vet asked we try fluids and see if that made a difference and it didn't, so he was put to sleep peacefully at home in his bed.
I have a blog post about it and a slideshow tribute

I had a portrait session right after, which was tough. The clients haven't seen the photos yet, so, I'll post those after their viewing sessions.
Yesterday, I did a newborn baby and then, a whippet session of a dog that is not long for this world either. I also did photos of the lady's puppies
