Death in the "family"

Babo died last night. He had "distemper" and the last stage was seizures. We woke up to him barking uncontrollably and seizing, and there was nothing we could do for him except try to keep his body from flailing everywhere... So we wrapped him in a blanket and made him as comfortable as possible and watched him die.

It was so strange. I've never seen the life in something leave it... I've never seen something alive become lifeless. It was strange. And sad. It seems to happen so quickly...
