Blackjack moved in with Lucy and I two months ago after Dad passed.
We got the news that our sweet boy’s congestive heart failure has worsened to the point of him having a week or two left to live.
So Lucy and I are giving him a tour of Austin today. Pics to follow all day.

First stop: sunrise at Mount Bonnell.
Next stop: A walk around Lady Bird Lake on our favorite trail.
Next stop: Blackjack watched Lucy chase birds at Zilker Park. He didn’t have the energy to join in, but he did get a kick out of it.
Next stop: Breakfast tacos at Juan in a Million. Blackjack just noticed the “No Pets” sign and is worried he won’t get any. Made it happen anyway.
Next stop: Lucy wanted to show Blackjack where she works. (She’s an Instagram ambassador for Rambler.) Blackjack has never heard of Instagram.
Next stop: Mid-morning snacks.
Next stop: seeing if @TexasTribune needs any help with coverage.
Next stop: I love them both so much. More than they will ever know.
Next stop: Lunch time. Blackjack finally getting his snout on some Torchy’s queso.
Next stop: Can’t do a drive around central Texas in April without wildflowers. I always wanted to bring Mom here. At least I got Blackjack to the front gate

Next stop: Bed. Poor guy is tuckered out. (Yet still so modest.) I’m gonna let him rest and see if he feels up for one more stop tonight.
Next stop: crunchy French fries at Waterloo.
Final stop: Sunset at Pennybacker.
I cannot thank you all enough for the kind words, replies and stories about your pups. I promise to get back to those I haven’t yet. Glad you got to meet Blackjack.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">

I don’t know how many days we have left with him, but I hope he’s excited to see Dad and Mom again.
Thank you so much for sharing this day with us.
