RIP little Clyde, our sweet little boy |
I'm going to take a break from updating my reading stuff today. It's been a sad week for Jo and I. Our little miniature schnauzer, Clyde was put to sleep earlier this week. Jo and I have been quietly adjusting to his absence. He's been going through a lot this past year, much like his sister, Bonnie, went through previously. He suffered from cataracts, which effectively made him blind and his health was such that he couldn't have corrective surgery. He also suffered from diabetes, like Bonnie. As well he had a number of issues. But he was a brave little man and a constant companion. We still went for walks, he still played with his toys sometimes in the evening.

Clyde's 1st day at home, with his sister |
We got him in 2013, 3 months after we got Bonnie, to be a companion for her and we just were ready for two again. We got him in Abbotsford, BC and had to bring them both across to Vancouver Island on the ferry. We had to wait for a 2nd ferry and as we walked them both around, we realized that Jo was basically dragging Clyde. He didn't seem to like that leash. LOL
They had such fun, Bonnie and Clyde. Nothing they enjoyed more than a good old rough house. Especially in the snow. Bonnie was a bully, eating Clyde's food, taking his toys. But he got his own back. When we first got him, he used to crawl under the foot stool in front of the sofa, crawling from one end to the other, teasing Bonnie. We came home a few times, having left them both with rawhide strips to keep them occupied, only to discover that Clyde had hidden Bonnie's under pillows so she couldn't have them.

Reading with me in the den |
They were two great dogs, liking nothing more than sprawling with either Jo or I. They did like that contact. 😁

Such a difficult life, eh, Clyde. |
Or just after a hard day at work and being out for walks...

At least Clyde isn't suffering anymore and he's with his sister, Bonnie and with our other two mini-schnauzers, Bonnie and Clyde.

You're always in our hearts, Clyde.
RIP my little dear friend.
