The past two months have been really hard for Henric. His spine started quitting on him and it just accelerated to the point where he couldn’t lay down without letting out a heartbreaking yell because of the pain he was in. We tried nearly everything without surgery and it wouldn’t have been fair to put him through surgery and a grueling recovery without absolute guarantees.

Yesterday he stopped eating and this morning he couldn’t stand without assistance.

Being loved by Henric has been one of the greatest honors in my life. I’ll miss how he’d sprint to the door everyday with a toy in his mouth after a long day at work. How he was a shameless mastermind and would scheme every possible way to steal food off your plate as soon as you started eating. He got very good at what I’d define as a “peekaboo attack” 🫣 How he interrupted EVERY interaction someone would try to have with us while out walking 🤣

This subreddit helped him out tremendously throughout the years and I am a better pet owner because of all you.

But I am a better person because of Henric. All I’m trying to say is I’m really going to miss my buddy. Hug and kiss yours extra in Henric’s memory.
