Just over 24 hours have past since Beethoven went into his last nap.
The decision to put him to peace was not as hard as it might seem to me and my family now... But it was the right decision.
I've never felt so torn between sadness and happiness when thinking of Beethoven. As a whole happiness overwhelms 99.9% of the time with Beethoven.
If it takes this 0.1% of the time of being sad to have gained all of this happiness, I would do it all again, over and over, and over again...
Beethoven. We had a good run. Others may not know what kind of relationship we had, everyone has a pet, everyone loses their pet one day... but to me, to us, we were family and it was a tremendous ride.
From meeting you when you were just a few weeks old, to journeying through life, mine and yours these past 10 years. I have never had so much joy when spending time with you and Timothy, going for walks, swimming in the ocean, meeting new people and riding the car everywhere...
The last 24 hours has been hard, but our last 10 years has been truly awesome and amazing. I am a better person because you were there for me and I know you still are now...
You've returned home now... perhaps in an Urn, perhaps a bit cramped in there... being a 46kg Golden Retriever... But there is no place like home right? I will still check up with you every day, Timothy will be there, I will be there, mom and dad will be there for you always.
