RIP Simon

[Johnch]

With a heavy heart I have to say Simon , my lab
Passed to the happy hunting ground today

I knew it was a matter of days
But it still wrips my guts

He had been acting out of sorts just before opening day of duck season
But I though he was pouting for nor being taken to the marsh

The monday after the opener he was having trouble catching his breath after a short walk
So I took him to the vet the next day

His lungs were full of fluid and there was a mass on the X Ray

I was given choices and they were all bad
So they gave him a shot and gave me pills to help with the fluid in his lungs

I was able to take him to the marsh 1 last time to sit on the dike and watch the swans swim
But he seemed to know it was his last trip

Up to Sat AM he had been OK , but Sat AM he had a bad morning
And again this AM , but seemed to be better after a hour or so

But I knew it was the end
I was planning on taking him to the Vet in the AM

I saw he was sleeping
So I took a walk just before lunch and when I came in
He had passed
