It's been over a year since I held my little monster. Had to be carried up and down stairs, slept next to me almost every night of our time together protecting me from loneliness, and in the end I sat on the floor with her as her body slowly shut down and finally wrapping her in my arms as she took her last breath. I understand why a person screams in pain when a pet passes, that night it was me. So many wonderful memories my girl, enjoy your eternal run on the beach my Angel playing with your puppies that passed so long ago.
