My Sweet Dog Sandy

 

Letting go of a fur baby is hard.

I had to let go of my cat… Smokey… last September and didn’t expect all the emotions that flooded me when I had to say goodbye.

Today… I want to pay tribute to my sweet girl… Sandy.

Her stomach suddenly flipped or twisted last Friday evening… ugh.

Just like in the movie ‘Marley and Me’.

I had an option to do surgery but she was too old and I knew the recovery would just be too much on her.  She had a couple of other health issues as well… so I knew it would just be too hard on her.

I found her as a stray in our downtown area at the library I once worked at about 14 years ago.  I was single and she was the perfect fit for me.  the Lord knew I needed her and she has been with me ever since.

She brought me MUCH joy all these years!

Now…

We just have Neeko… you may have seen him in a photo or two on here.

Let’s see… Sandy was my shadow, Neeko was her shadow and Smokey was everyone’s shadow…lol.

He is very much a pack dog… very family, people oriented and I know he is missing his sister.   He actually went and laid next to where we put her the other day… so sweet and sad at the same time.

I bought him a new “baby” this week!  He seems to really like it and is taking good care of it.  I may go buy him some more babies.  He’s gotta good collection but a new baby is always fun for him.

*SIGH*

I sure do love my fur babies…

I tell ya… the hardest part is that

I find myself missing our daily routine together…

after all…

our fur babies depend on us for everything. 

Taking care of her was such a blessing for me…especially since I don’t have any children. 

Yep…

I surely do miss my sweet, sweet Sandy.

She was a wonderful companion!
