I first met Midnight in October, 2006 when Jackie and I moved from Washington to Ruston. He was about two years old. I knew Midnight through his teen years, adulthood, and old age. I grew very fond of that guy. It is with tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, and an ache in my heart that I write that Midnight passed away this morning. Midnight lived to be eleven. The average life expectancy for a lab is ten to twelve years. Midnight had a full lab life.
Midnight was the Adams family dog. John and Kerry. He loved his family. It was a pleasure to watch how close they were. And how well they communicated.
If possible Midnight was with John every minute. If John was working in one spot, Midnight would lay done beside him. John had many a trip over Midnight.
Here are some pictures of Midnight's last living hours. The Doctor said that Midnight had a terminal case of cancer.
I'm so sorry. He was such a sweet dog.
ReplyDeleteAny one who shared his life with a dog knows it can be tough to say goodbye. Watch Baxter Black and "Just a dog" (you can google it if the link doesn't work):

Mr. Chuck,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Unless you have truly loved and been loved by a wonderful pet, you just can't understand the pain that comes with losing them. I send my love and biggest hugs to you and your sweet family.
Yours always,
A.B.
Thanks AB
