418: R.I.P. Rex 2000 - 2014

 Hi.
Today I post a sad post.
I had to say goodbye to Rex, my 14 and and a bit border-collie.
I decided to put him to rest, he had multiple skin issues, driving him crazy,
was going blind and deaf, in short, not the dog he was ment to be...
(for many, many years he was, working his ass off, doing tricks & chores)
Though I know I made the right decision, it still feels awfull.. 
I stayed with him till the very last heartbeat, feeling very sad, 
but also somehow relieved he was going to a better place.
So in his honour, a follow up on the dog-theme.... 


A pic of his final moment,
a few minutes before he died....
