We had to put Gordie down today. We are all very sad about this. He was a big dog that was about 12 1/2 years old. When we got him a few years ago, we didn’t think that he would last very long, but he was able to last a while. Lately, he has gotten slower and slower (not that he was ever very fast). Here are a few pictures that we took right before he went to the vet.
