[rip] Russel, 14

Recently me and my family decided to put down Russel after 14 years of being with him. We got him a while ago from the pound and he basically picked us for his owner. As the years went by we raised him well made sure he had a great life. He did get on our nerves sometimes like how he used to bark at almost everything though the window which was especially annoying during the pandemic but we pulled though. Unfortunately for the past year or 2 Russel got a growth in his spleen which caused him problems. We were given the option for surgery but it was expensive and didn’t guarantee if he was going to live so we had to hide the pain with cbd. Me managed to do well but overtime as he got older he was moving less, he had terrible breath and lost control of his bladder. While we tried to put it off for as long as we could we eventually had to put him down today. After such a long life it feels like an end of an era but we’re glad we had him and gave him the best possible life we could. Even if he’s gone now the memories will last us a lifetime. R.i.p Russel see you on the other side someday
