Last night, as I was about to sleep, my oldest nephew called me and   Justathereptile to come down stairs, said it was an emergency. We rushed down hearing the sounds of crying. We got down and saw one of our dogs, the oldest one, Digger still and lifeless. Further confirmed when one of our nieces explained him letting out a sigh and just stopping, and even further confirmed when mom said she had witnessed it too.

We knew this was going to happen at some point. He was 12 years old, maybe 13. Just didn't expect this to happen so soon. Trying to look on the brightside, I expressed that he did live a full life, and died peacefully at old age, which is typically a far better outcome then some of the tragedies that had unfold during the earlier years of my own life.

I remember when we first got home with him too. Mom and Dad picked me up from college and we took him to get cleaned up to get rid of that kennel smell, and at that point I was just praying he wouldn't vomit on me sense he was getting car sick. Seemed like we were in the clear after I finally got home but, nope NOW he pukes, lol.

I remember having to keep an eye on him too, and I would sit in the living room and play tug of war with him, and even taught him to sit when I snapped my fingers. He was a pretty smart dog but also willfull, which isn't a surprise given he was a bird-dog, a pointer specifically.

His willfulness did cause some clashes though, he'd get into the garbage and I'd often have to lock the door to me and Justa's media room to keep him out, and sometimes he'd just fo stuff you know was definitely not an accident if ya knew him. Despite this we loved him.

After dad's passing, he got worse mentally, he didn't eat very much, but I also figured it was due to his age cause he was around 10, 11 at this point already. He moved alot slower, more hesitant than he used to, ya know typical old-animal shit. even called him Ol' Man at times as a fun joke.

He's up there with Dad, Big Bro, and Keith now.

RIP Digger.

Despite these occurances, I've got just a bit too many things on my mind that need to be done, so I'm gonna be focusing on those such as getting Saph somewhat playable in this MUGEN project. Though I may slow down as well.
