Terry my baby girl passed away this morning at home on August 14th @ 630 am at the age of 19 yrs old. Her mind and will to live was stronger then ever, but her body was tired and could no longer go on. The last days of her life were my happiest and also the worse days of my life. I'm blessed she wanted me next to her, to reminisce of days past, hold her paw, stroke her face and give her kisses as she kept a watchful eye on me at all times as if she was trying to tell me everything will be okay. At the end of the night turned early morning as she looked up at her daddy while he was petting and talking to her she took her last breath and was gone. My heart was shattered to pieces at that very moment. The boys Buck, BoBo and Bleu came to her side to say goodbye, I feel they already knew she was gone as dogs seem to sense it. We buried her this afternoon at the cemetery, as we placed her body in a white casket with her head on a pillow, her blanket and stuffed pink pig beside her we said our heartfelt goodbyes. We stayed with her until the very end, as they laid her to rest next to Buddy her bonded mate who past away a few years earlier. I can picture them both in my mind now which gives me some comfort as I see two beautiful black labs healthy and strong together again, happy and running free. I loved her so much and will miss her immensely .......
