Went on an outing to Lars Andersen park in Brookline for a walk with my dog Ciku. She's been diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer with only a few short weeks to live. She's been a part of our family since we adopted her over 10 years ago at the SPCA. I used to go out for hours with her, just driving around and enjoying different parts of New England, and this may be our last time. It was on a hill and bitterly cold, one of the lasts before the spring thaw. She is already getting weak and could not be out long, but I'm sure she felt refreshed to be out of the house since it has been some time since we were able to go on a little trip. We even went to church and had her surrounded by many cheerful girls that seemed to lift her spirits.
Update:
Ciku passed peacefully Monday March 31, 2014. Thank you girl for being a part of our lives.
