He's very upset about it. His dog got cancer and it got to the point where it was time for Oscar to find peace because he was suffering so badly. He was only 8. So Chris is here hugging on Cody because he's missing his dog.
He wanted to watch Marley and Me tonight and I was like "huh-uh, I don't think so!" He didn't know about the ending. So we are watching Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. It's an old Christopher Lee vampire movie.

oh GOOD catch on the Marley movie...not good at ALL...
the vampires might take his mind off of it.
Remind him he did the right thing and the brave thing. It is very unselfish caring thing to give an animal a gentle end like that.

Oscar was a bullmastiff. He was very cute. He had such a cute face. And he was extremely friendly. Chris said he will never own another dog again, but I'm hoping after he has time to grieve he will change his mind and bring home a little puppy. :)
His dog was only 8. That was a real shame. He should have lived several more years had it not been for that damn cancer.

well the bigger the dog is the shorter their life span. Poodles live decades!
I hope so too. Once your heart has opened for an animal there is NOTHING that will fill it back up again like another love.

I know it. COdy just turned 5! I'm worried about what might happen to him in the next few years. I dread the thought of losing him. It makes me cry just to think about it. Golden Retrievers typically live to be around 12 years old, so he should have some good years still left in him. He's still very active and acts like a pup most of the time. So that's a good sign.
