This weekend we said goodbye to Sheba, our 14 1/2 year old dog. Although it was a decision we had been putting off for months, we all knew her time had come. I won't miss the hair everywhere, nor cleaning up after her these past months, but there are still things that I am really going to miss.
***her enthusiastic welcome after we had been away at work all day
***her excitement about going on a walk anytime I took out the leash
***her attempts to make herself comfortable on my lap while I tried to work on my laptop(she made it work!)
***the long hours she spent with me in the recliner after my surgery last fall
***someone to share my pizza crusts with(I never have liked the crusts!)
***her fierce barking if ever any male came to our door when Dave was away
***her welcome and goodbyes to any and all company, whether a coffee date, our Life Group members or house guests, she was there to welcome them when they came thru the door and there to say goodbye, often standing between Dave and I when they left
Goodbye Old Friend....you are missed!

How can I not say that I'll miss her too! It will seem strange not to have her lead the way on our walks... and such a good keeper of secrets, she was!
oh no. she's gone! i knew the day would come, but it is still sad nonetheless. she was such a great welcome-wagon at your home!! did you have to put her down?
I'm sorry, Doris. Pets truly do become one of the family and it must be very sad to lose her. It must seem very strange not to have her there. She truly was a lovely dog.
Beautiful dog! So sorry for your loss of someone very special.
