13 years was a good run but I know your time together seems short.
You had a ray of light, feel happy about that if you possibly can.

13 years together. He had a stroke overnight, and I held him for a couple of hours this morning until the vet opened. He was drifiting in and out of consciousness, but didn't seem to be in distress. By the time the vet arrived, he hadn't opened his eyes for 20 mins or so, and his breathing was barely detectable. I'd like to think the last thing he was aware of was me holding him and telling him what a good boy he was... Ooof, this hits hard.
