Goodbye, my dear friend

Today we are putting our dear friend, Appie, to sleep. I have had her since she was very tiny, able to fit into the palm of my hand. She is very old and very tired and her life has become so narrowed and difficult for her. She tells us with her eyes she would really like it if we would let her go. She had been waiting patiently till we were ready. 

We love you, Appie:

Saying goodbye to a sweet furry friend is never easy. My heart is with you.

oh...she's had a really good life, i can tell. maybe she and pekoe are hanging out right now. they met randomly in a park, when pekoe was telling someone about me, and then appie walked up and was like, "oh, my person lived in portland, too," and they just hit it off and now they're sitting in the sun.

Hmmm, nice. I like that. Yes, I think you can tell Appie had a good life because of all the pillows. I mean, every picture she is sitting on a pillow or stuffed animal or something really comfy. We do love our doggies! Now it's Mila's turn to be completely spoiled! As it should be! Ha!

It is so very difficult to find that your dog has reached the end of life. In the past 70 years we have had many. They were always a delight. And their passing always brought my wife and me great sadness.
