Wally passed away unexpectedly on January 19, 2021. He was only 10-years-old. I am devastated and at a loss for words at the moment. During the last five years of my chronic illness, he has been my best friend. There were days that the only reason I would get out of bed was to give him his evening walkie. I am heading to Moscow, Russia in June to undergo chemo and an autologous stem cell transplant for Sjogren's Disease. A procedure they do not do in the United States. Not having him around during my year-long recovery will be very difficult. Wally was a clown; he was a loving family member; and I hope he is in a much better place. He was forced to leave this earth far too young. I am absolutely crushed.
