Solomon

Christmas 2022

 

Dec 2015

Today, one month shy of Solomon's 15th birthday, I put him down. He was given to Al and I in September of 2008, when he was 7 months old. Not only was it difficult to say good-bye to such a sweet, kind friend, but it was another first I had to do without Al. Al always took care of the hard things for me. I am so grateful my friend of 34 years went with me, loved on Solomon with me and cried with me. 

Watching Solomon age has coincided with so many older men. Solomon has had to use the bathroom more frequently. He was eating smaller meals, thinking he was hungry and after a few bits, felt he had enough. Solomon lost a significant amount of weight. Solomon has been called lumpy, bumpy with all his new growths. Solomon's legs were getting weaker and weaker. Solomon slept most of the day on a soft blanket we placed over the heat register, comfortable and warm. Solomon couldn't always remember why he got up, but a big ear rub was what he received from those who loved him. 

Thank you for blessing our lives!
