Today Mom brought home the sad news that my cousin Alva passed away. Uncle Dennis came to the gym with Nala and a long face. Over the weekend, Alva had no appetite and was urinating blood. Uncle Dennis took him to the vet who said that he had cancer and it was pretty severe. Alva had a hard time walking and was really suffering. So Uncle Dennis decided it was his time. Alva was 9 years old.
Goodbye Cousin Alva. You were a good friend and good dog, always the life of the party. You made your dad proud. You changed Mom’s perception of pitbulls. You provided me with good company and many fun walks in the park. I hope you’re happy where you are, and we’ll miss you and think of you often.
