Update. After 13 very short and amazing years the pup has crossed over to the other side. The entire family is heart broken. The vet who did the house call said she was amazed that she had held on this long.

Today when it was just the dog and I she went to a part of the couch my kids had taken over years ago. She has not been able to stand up on her own without help for three days. She went there and I laid on the couch with her and she put her head over my shoulder and we just laid there for about 20 minutes. This meant a lot to me because this is something we used to do when I worked nights and when I would go in at 0400 to work come home and grab a nap before class. It's been years.

This was her main goodbye to me and I'll always treasure it. She went peacefully with family and a couple of a buddy of mine who was there the day I first brought her home. An absolutely amazing dog and animal as a whole. She will be missed by everyone whose known her. I will never be able to replace that dog and I wouldn't want to. Such a special bond and life I was able to share with her. I still see her and caught myself talking to her when I left putting my kids to sleep.

Make sure you love your animals. That bond is a miracle on its own.

Someone sent me this tonight "...Konrad Lorenz who received a nobel peace prize for his behavorial research with animals said "The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being. The bond with a dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be."

Someone else this "“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17

...dogs are an excellent example of a “good gift” that God gives us. He gives mankind lots of good gifts like dogs...

Dogs are a special creature that I’m convinced God created to show us that we are relational beings made to be in a loyal, steadfast relationship with Him. So many times I didn’t deserve the affection of my dog, but he still gave it. It was a convicting reminder of how I should not EVER withhold my affection from my family.

I am praying for you bud!"

Love your dogs for me. Give them good treats, good scratches, and take some extra time with them. Some of us won't have that ability with ours anymore.

Looking back I'm glad we spent the extra money and time finding places that our dog could travel with us.

In 13 yrs I was probably away from mine a total of about 3 weeks from traveling for work and leisure. That was three too many. God blessed us with the companionship of dogs.

Have a blessed night everyone. I have been blessed through my life and my dog has been an abundance of blessing through her short life.
