Hey Everyone,

It's been a bit since my last post, but we were just concentrating on spending as much time with Ludo as possible. I wish I had better news to share with you, but Ludo passed away last Friday. The tumor in his snout was growing rapidly and his eye and jaw began bothering him. He was also a lot more lethargic and sore as time went on. At the beginning of all of this, both Tessa and I decided that we wanted to do what was best for Ludo and let him go before things got too bad. In his last days he got to still have some good moments snuggling with his mom, eating as much breakfast food as he wanted, and being a stroller captain:

We were lucky enough to have his last two days with us be really, really great. He got to do all the things he enjoyed and we even got to see him act a little silly for a brief moment. 

I just want to point out that even though we only got two additional post-surgery months with him, we do not regret the decision to amputate at all. We so wish we could have had the correct diagnosis right when Ludo started limping so we could have done it sooner. He adapted so well to life on three legs and every day I was so proud of him. We both miss him beyond belief, but at least he is now pain free and resting. I can't tell you how much I have appreciated all of your kind words and advice through all of this. So thank you all so much. Here is one last photo of Ludo showing off how handsome he was with three legs:
