sad sad evening
yesterday evening i had to put my sweet shotsie to sleep.
my only solace is that she was not in any pain.
we got shotsie when she was 8 weeks old, november 1994, the day before thanksgiving.
rebecca was in kindergarten.
shotsie did not think she was a dog, she was a grand dame. and the best watchdog ever. rebecca and i never had to be afraid living alone in lake placid while shotsie was there to protect us.
shotsie was not a licking dog, but when she got in the mood, watch out! she would pin you down and lick your face til you begged for mercy laughing!
good night sweet angel, i will miss you more than words could ever say.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry. She had a very pretty face. *hugs*
So sorry to read of Shotsie's passing, Vanessa. Hope the many and happy memories bring comfort to you and Rebecca.
This is so sad. I feel with you because I had to let lots of hairy friends go and it's been always so hard. Feel hugged.

Rest in peace, sweet lady. Hugs to you and Rebecca.
I am so so sorry.
Vanessa, there are no words to help you right now, but we are all here for you. I hope you are doing ok -
The loss of a beloved pet is such a kick in the heart. I'm so sorry.
A long-distance hug of sympathy--they fill our hearts, don't they?
My heart goes out to you - I still can't think of Hero without tearing up, and it has been five months now. Our furry friends add so much to our lives - it does hurt much when we have to part company. Take care.
Oh Vanessa I'm so sorry about Shotsie. She was so pretty and obviously deeply loved. I'm sending a cyberhug your way.
May the smiles at Shotsie's memory soon replace the tears at her passing. Hugs.
I'm so sorry. They bring so much love and they have to leave so early... I hope the good memories will soon begin to replace the sadness.

Bon Voyage, old gal, old pal. I still get tears in my eyes seeing her pictures with the pups and the kid. She did her job and gave you a great run. I am glad that it was quick, even though it was a surprise. She will hang out at The Rainbow Bridge until you are ready.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Shotsie was well loved.
We returned last night from the Knitter's Retreat, and just read of your sad loss. It's so hard loosing our furry companions. Hugs ;{

Oh Vanessa, I am so sorry to hear about Shotsie, very hard to say goodbye to a beloved friend. Hugs to you.....
So sad! That must be a very hard decision to make - I've not yet had to do that with any of my doggies. It sounds like you had many wonderful years together. Here is a ((hug)) for you!

Hugs Vanessa...I know how difficult this is.
Oh Vanessa, I'm so sorry.
Shotsie lived a good long life with you...it is so hard to say goodbye to a friend like that... she sure sounds like she was one of the best....
So sorry... but what a lovely tribute to a good friend.
May joyous memories slowly fill the empty spaces that her absence leaves behind.
