RIP Luke, 1997-2011

We put down our dog of 13 years (we got him when he was just a year old) today. We named him Luke, after Luke Skywalker, so I think it's completely appropriate that he left us on Star Wars Day.

He had been getting weaker in his hind legs and today those legs became paralyzed. The vet didn't think that he was in any pain at all and X-rays didn't show anything conclusive for what was wrong. We did get to say goodbye and I was thankful for that. I also got to see him on Sunday at my shower, so I'm glad that I had seen him as his normal-self recently.
