…our very good boy
.
The first iteration of Luke Skywalker Cross has exited the stage.
Today at 11:30, our vet relieved Luke of his pain.
Although plagued with several health problems, including slow growing carcinomas, arthritis and Cushing’s Syndrome, Luke was in pretty good shape this last year, and in good spirits right up to the end.
Luke came into our lives when he was 8 years old. His previous owner had died and he ended up on the street. When Animal Control found him, he had been hit by a car and was near starvation. He spent several weeks in the hospital and then a month waiting for somebody to adopt an older dog.
We were that somebody.
Luke was with us for 3 years and not quite 3 months. Only Daisy Ann had a shorter time in our family. We will miss our boy, but we are glad his pain is ended.
Goodbye, Luke. We love you. You were a good boy.
NOTE FROM 11/2/2020: It’s been a year since he died. I miss him very much.
