Well, little Tank has been handed over to the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center. He is apparently very old, and they did not have much hope for his health, so unfortunately it seems they decided to put him down. I'm pretty bummed that I couldn't do more for him, but I'm also glad that I could provide him with a safe, comfortable place to rest during his last days, giving him food and water and respite.
On the way home, the song I'll Fly Away by Gillian Welch came on my ipod (which was on shuffle). I heard this song shortly after dog Lucy died, and it always made me picture her romping and frolicking happily through a sunny field of green grass and wild flowers.
I guess now she has a playmate. Rest peacefully, little Tank.
(And Lucy.)
