Me and sibs had a dog, named Spot due to marks he had on his tongue. He was a mix of the average Thai dog and a German Shepard. He and his sister were/are the size of an average Thai dog but he had the fur color of the Shepard while his sister has just the furry coat. Spot was one of the toughest dogs in our neighborhood, he was the toughest in his prime. Then he got old and sick, his last day alive was with us as we gave him a much needed bath, which he seemed to actually enjoy (this was the first and only time). He passed away that night with the comfort of his pack, who missed him just as much as we did. His sister is still alive, and one of his sons is now the alpha dog. About thirty days from know will be his 5th death anniversary.

I know your pain.
