3. Free Massage, no tricks required.

4. Take a family portrait

5. Pick on big dogs at the park.

6. Eat Pizza - Like a boss.

7. Go camping

8. I'm on a boat

9. Eat BBQ Fish, Beef, Chicken and Sausage

10. Eat Cheetos

11. Sunbath at the lake

12. Bacon I love you

LAST UPDATE: July 30th 8:46pm

I was cooking some chicken for Mocha this afternoon, Mocha came by and slept on my foot. I gave him a neck massage as usual, he took his last breath after several minutes. I held him in my arms for 2 hours, waited for my wife to come home. All the family members said their goodbyes.

It was peaceful, his eyes were open, with a smile on his face. I'm happy that his last moment was spent with me, it was all I ever prayed for.

I am lost for words right now, forgive me for taking some time off. Thank you for allowing me to share his stories with you.

The update continues on another thread... Aug 1st 5:58pm

Thank you so much for all your messages, our phones were beeping non stop from notifications. Your words brought tears to our eyes and we are filled with love.

I took Vienna to the vet yesterday, the cytology result came back today, she also has stage 5 Lymphoma. So this thread will continues and I'm starting another bucket list for Vienna as well.

I took it upon myself to send an official thank you from my little family to yours. I think Mocha should know how important he is in the big scheme of things as part of his bucket list! Praying for you guys.

How about a favorite beach or forest? Picnic there. If you want food items, tripe and blueberries for desert! Sure to delight any corgi!

p.s. The tripe smells horrible, but I've heard that no dog can resist!

A nice leisurely walk with Mocha's family, followed by bacon and scrambled eggs (and maybe a waffle!) followed by a long massage with belly rubs and ear scritches and ending up with a nap with you and Silvia!

Of course, Mocha's had and continues to have a most wonderful life so that's probably the best of all, anyways.

How about a visit to the UK Embassy in Toronto? Might be someone there who can speak to Mocha in Welsh. Most people don't realize it but Corgis still think in Welsh.

Or maybe a ride in a Ferrari! A happy Corgi face in a Ferrari would make for a grand picture.

I really like how you are documenting Mocha's bucket list. Your family portrait is beautiful. It is hard to imagine he is even sick, he looks great Happy too! Nothing like a corgi smile :)
