We said goodbye to Bullet today. He is 14 years and 7 months old. We have had him longer than any of the others in the pack and it has been very painful watching him slip away from us. Bullet has always been full of energy and always wanted the girls to chase him. He would lead them on chases around the trees in the back yard and was always playful with them. He really missed his buddy Glow when she passed away, but for another year and a half he had his sister, Bliss, until she got bone cancer. Bullet never got any diseases or had any medical problems in all of his life. He was our healthiest hound. Even at the end he was able to go outside to go to the potty. He just stopped eating and was starting to fail. We loved him so much and it has been hard to see him go. Now we just have Cantu. She is healthy and doing well and I hope she continues so for some time. Losing Bullet has been like losing the whole pack all over again. He was the last connection to the original pack of five. Now his remains are with the others on the wall in the family room where they would all lay and spend time with us.
