He's the one on the left.
He died yesterday afternoon after going for a checkup. He was 12 years old and We've had him since high school. He had a tumor removed from his leg last week and he seemed to be doing fine but yesterday morning, he was quite lethargic and wouldn't eat his food. Parents dropped him off at the vet's and they said they'll hook him up to an IV and monitor him but later that afternoon they said he had passed away.
I'll always remember how he used to tremble in excitement whenever I'd bust out the dog biscuits.

RIP

:( How old are you now...I"m so sorry.....it's hard losing a pet, especially one you've had for a long time that's grown up with you!

how often do pets die simply of old age ? It seems they mostly have cancer or this and that before it. :(

That's a good question. I currently have 2 cats that are about to turn 2 this year and after my wife learned about kumbar's death yesterday, she's been depressed about the thought of them passing away in the future.

I had nightmares all night about the death of my dog, Jaeger. He's 12 and starting to go deaf and probably losing his sight too :(
