RIP Solitary Man

Strika's cousin and buddy of 9 years Soli (Kennel name blah blah blah Solitary Man) went to sleep for the last time this morning.
Unfortunately, he was born with his mothers genes, which included a likelyhood of ending up with Dialated Cardio Myopothy (Enlarged Heart). He was really struggling to breath, with his little heart growing big enough to reduce his lung movement and ability to take air in. Rather than watch him deteriorate like his mum did, we made the hard decision. Last night he had his favourite dinner, slept on my bed with Tatyana and I. Then this morning, Soli, Strika and I went for a walk on the beach and chased his last bird....all be it slowly
.He went into the vet this morning at 11.00 and went to sleep in my arms at 11.15, with his ear being rubbed.
