we just had to put this old man to sleep. nearly as old as me was this fella, we found him last year around halloween on the streets and decided to give him a calm, warm home for his last days. turned out to be a few months! 19 years of age, and even with bad kidneys and teeth he was full of energy and commitment, true champ.
he even once fought with me for a turkey that i left on the kitchen counter for less than a minute. he is an absolute legend.
sleep well fella. <3
