For all the people that responded to my post some days ago. thanks again for all your kind words

Some sort of tumor on his 6th neck vertebrae had almost disintegrated it. He would have been in to much pain even if he managed to heal it.

Our vet came home to us and helped him on his way. We were there the hole way and i felt his little heart stop.

We buried him in the front yard yesterday...this summer i will plant peas on his grave...he loved them

He was only 8 months old...we had him for 6 months

My heart is broken and i will never forget you Marley. I love you my little baby boy.

Edit:

Thank you all for your kind words❤️ i hope you all have a new year full of love and happiness

Aw man, I'm sorry for your loss. Just lost my girl, she was old and it was her time, but I mourn with you.

A while back I lost my other girl way too young to cancer, so I know how much worse it is when they're stolen away from you like that. But, they're pain free now, and to prolong the suffering would only be cruelty, you did the right thing.
