Mom called us this morning with the sad news that they were told this morning by Grandpa's doctors that there is nothing more they can do to save his life. Grandpa is going to die in the next few days but he will be on morphine, with no pain, just deeply asleep.
Mom is of course very upset but she is also relieved because it has been torture watching her beloved Dad suffer through 5 surgeries in 3 weeks and go through so much. She has decided to stay with her family until July 15. Though I wish she was coming home as scheduled, I understand that she needs her family now, and I am okay with that.
I love my Grandpa so very much - it was only because of him that my name is Axel (Grandpa has a big Axel manufacturing company) and that Mom came to love wire fox terriers. Grandpa is a big fan of Johnny Walker Whiskey and I've spotted some on the shelf in the kitchen. I am going to ask Dad if we can have a wee nip tonite to salute Grandpa and his wonderful 85 years on earth.

Dani,
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Love,
Joan and the Barkies
Oh, Axel. We can hardly see to type; our eyes are all welled up in tears. We feel so sad for your family. We know you'll look forward to your mama coming home, and you'll greet her with tons of love and warmth, but we're so glad that she can stay with her family during this really difficult passage. That's important for her. We know it is. Send Mama Dani our love and tender thoughts. If we could, we'd wrap our paws around her and give her a big hug.
Love,
Jake, Fergi and our people (Sally and Nina)
Axel my pal...please send your Mommy our love and prayers, and you and your dad stay strong for her. She will need your love and wisdom even more when she comes home to you this time.
We think the Johhny Walker is a good idea, in moderation of course.
