Our dear dog, Soloman, passed away at age fourteen on September 2, 2008. Sol had been battling problems on a number of fronts and just hit his limit with trouble walking, getting to food, and a number of other things. We did the best we could for him, but it was obvious in the past few days that he was in a lot of pain and had given up fighting. We tried to make his last day a good one - we both took the day off and sat outside for a long time in the sun.
