As most (or all) of you know, this past Tuesday was a very difficult day for us. Our beloved pug, Wally, passed away at age 11. He had been very sick fighting a massive inner ear infection and because of other health problems, his body just wasn't able to fight the infection and it ended up spreading throughout his body. So, Alex and I made the decision along with the vet to put him down on Tuesday. It was so hard to make that decision, but I know it was the right one. Wally is no longer in pain and isn't suffering anymore. The rest of this week has been a bit strange. It feels like someone is missing. I find myself walking around the house and looking in places that Wally would normally be and when I look and he's not there, it makes me sad. Alex has had a harder time with it than I have. Wally was "his" dog and he misses him so much! He feels guilty because he had school on Tuesday in Milwaukee and wasn't able to be there for Wally's final hours/minutes. I told him not to feel guilty and I know that Wally understands and still loves him so much! I know the with time, everything will get easier and better. Even though we had Wally for 9 short months, he was a wonderful pug! He really made a great impression on everyone he met. I actually think that most of our friends and family preferred Wally to our other dogs. He was sweet and kind and very affectionate. He was always sitting there waiting for you. We'll miss you Walter! You were a wonderful friend and companion and we'll never forget you! I know we'll see you again some day!
