Our 3 1/2 yr old cocker spaniel died today. He was diagnosed with lymphoma early this fall. Shadow was a black dog with the sweetest eyes and such a warm personality. He will be missed terribly.
Pets have such a way of burrowing into your heart. The love they give is so unconditional and free. I think that's why it's so easy to spoil them. They show instantly the excitement that fills their entire being. That was our Shadow.
It would be so easy to say, never again. But, the love you deny yourself is great.
Peaceful sleep little boy. I'll see you again in heaven.
Shadow was way too young to die. I hope he didn't suffer too much. It's always so painful to lose a furry companion, especially one who brings such joy to your life.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he suffered much. He was pampered and babied. His pills were placed in a fresh roast beef sandwich every other day and hand fed.
ReplyDeleteAllen seems to be taking it ok, the girls cried pretty hard though. They loved him so. Sounds like they may get a puppy next spring.
