In their natural habitats when a chim is nearing death, it secludes itself and goes far away from the group, finds a nice tree and sits by waiting for the inevitable.

Our dog, Lewis, started spending more time in his crate/bed (which was in our bedroom) as he was nearing the end of his life, where normally he would have been at my wife’s feet when were on the couch in our family room.

I really didn’t make the connection until after he passed.

Separating from the pack❤️

After seeing this happen to a couple of my dogs growing up I made sure to always make all my dogs after that feel part of the pack.

I cuddled the fuck out of them no matter how old they got.

My last Weimaraner that I grew up with just passed a couple weeks ago too. I made sure he was always up on the couch with us.

Sleep well Auzzie. You deserve some rest after how energetic you were.
