My dog Bit (also known as Bit-Bit) passed away about 7:30 this evening. He had suffered for a long time from a long list of ailments (congestive heart failure, Cushing's Disease, and most recently, the beginnings of renal failure) and it caught up with him today. His final descent was very rapid - he became short of breath about five. I had loaded him up in the pet taxi in the back of the car and was fiddling with the GPS to get directions for the pet emergency clinic, when I realized I couldn't hear him breathing anymore.
He was my mother's last dog, though he was my dog more than twice the time he was hers (she had him four years; eleven for me). R.I.P. Big Boy.
