Beautiful and majestic until the end
The deed is done. It was only after her body had totally relaxed that I could appreciate the constant pain and discomfort she must have been in for the last little while. we sat out on the grass for an hour before I went live today. it was clear she was in visible discomfort, but she remained stoic and majestic up until the end.
on the way to the vet, we stopped and got a “pup cup” at Starbucks. Is that what they’re called? The kids wanted to do it and give her one last treat. She never really got many treats in the last few years because it would upset her stomach and make the poop she would invariably leave in her bed messier to clean up.
She had 2 cups of whipped cream.
We sat as a family and wept together as she quietly closed her eyes and became part of the cosmos once again.
I don’t even say this as a joke… If your last memories are what echo forever, she is in a field with us, running around with all four legs, jumping through the grass into the setting sun.
Going to go bowling now. Will try to get strikes in between wiping away tears. Lol
