"Today was a terrible day because..."

[Neo Emolga]

Thanks y'all. We put her down this morning. She was munching on treats the whole time and died with a mouth full of them. I got to keep her favorite bandanna and currently have it tied around my backpack. I also got to clip off some of her fur. Not sure what I'm going to do with it but I have it. We'll be getting her ashes and a pawprint in the next couple days or so. It's just really hard, letting her go. I kept expecting her to wake up any second and she didn't. But I got lots of pictures of her. She was smiling until the end.

I'm sorry for your loss, Sloane. I know what it's like to lose a life-long pet and it takes pieces out of you. But you and your family gave her love, gave her a good life, made her part of your family, and that's something so many dogs only wish they could have. The love she gave to you was the kind of love she got in return and it made her happy to be with you.

Don't cry because she's gone. Smile because she came into your life, gave you happiness, and that she is a part of your family and always will be.
