It's always sad when we lose our too short lived animal companions. But you have Mauser some time and quality that so nearly didn't happen. Treasure that time.
We rescued a Rhodesian Ridgeback that was "too old", had basically been like a junkyard dog patrolling an equipment yard, and had such a marked heart valve insufficiency I could hear the murmur with my unassisted ear.
Güero was with us three years and one day before I had to help him cross the Rainbow Bridge, and I treasure every hour with him. Somehow, he figured what was going on when we took him on, and he became "our dog" - devoted, loving, stalwart.
