The death of Gorgo
Nov. 19th, 2006 05:43 pmI'm down in Sydney at Jayne's, and her dog Gorgo (and familiar of 14 years), has just died.
We were just starting to watch a DVD when he staggered to the front door and collapsed sideways. He was dead within a minute, and the last thing was Jayne next to him comforting him. He'd had a long bout with cancer so the death was a mercy. Just now I was out the back with Alex (son) and Warren (boyfriend) digging a grave. We're not finished yet, but we will be.
I met Gorgo several times on my trips down here. He was a big boofy dog with more energy than sense, but he was also part of the family here. After Mondo (his companion dog) and Catman (friendly cat) and a pet snake, this is the fourth pet that Jayne's lost in the last year.
She is very upset. And while I'm sorry that Gorgo died (we were talking about how much pain he was in earlier today) I'm glad that I was here when it happened, to lend support to Jayne.
Goodbye Gorgo - miss you!
