My Ring Bearer is dying... Rusty's final days

We decided to drive to Indiana this weekend despite of my deadlines for alchemy requests next week. Rusty is dying, Tim's beagle who was our ring bearer in our wedding. In as much as we want to keep him, we can't have him in our apartment since we're not allowed to have pets. At the same time, Tim's parents were already suffering with uncontrolled bladder Rusty have right now and numerous tumors in his tummy.

I'm feeling sad already while writing this...it'll be more sad this coming weekend. Rusty has been Gwen's favorite companion and entertainment whenever we visit Winona Lake (even Rusty gets annoyed when Gwen tried to follow him everywhere he goes).

I have a thing with dogs, cats or even birds that I get really lonely when I see them die. We won't see Rusty when he goes to sleep...but just the thought of it is sad.
