Sad to post that my dear black lab Jet passed away this morning. It was a peaceful farewell, and I find some comfort in the words of Agnes Sligh Turnbull: "Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault really." See you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, old pup. 🌈❤️ 🐶 #dogs #mydog #mydogposts

Jet's peeing "claret". He hasn't responded to antibiotics, I will get blood and urine tests done, but I won't subject him to invasive procedures and surgery. He's 14 and we've had a great life together. For now, we're enjoying each day as it comes. Just like a dog! ❤️🐶 #dogs #mydog #mydogposts
