It’s been a week.
And I still can’t think to much about her or I start to cry.
On Tuesday, August 18, as we started our day, we found her curled up on her rug in the bathroom. She had passed at some point during the night. It was way to much for me to handle and I sobbed. She’d been slowly going down hill for several weeks, losing weight, having seizures, and likely pneumonia to boot. I’ve written about this hero friend of mine before here. No more will she be so excited to see me in the morning. No more will we hear her little yip’s around the breakfast table begging for whatever scraps might happen to fall her way. No more will she be underfoot in the kitchen. No more sleeping under my desk and on my feet. No more chasing the office chair in circles to protect your favorite Zoe.
Rest in peace sweet Shadow. Rest in peace.
This is the last photo took of her just the day before she passed.
Shadow – November 12, 1998 – August 18th 2009. You will be remembered always.
take care.
I am still so sorry for your family’s loss. I’m glad you have each other to get through. And I desperately wish someone could find a way for me to reach across the continent and actually hug you all.
I am so sorry.
She’s a beautiful dog and sounds like she was great fun for the whole family!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your pet
They really are like family.
