It is always so hard to lose something you love so dearly...when we lost our beloved Stimpy last year, it was especially difficult for me, for it was the first dog I had ever owned. But I always find comfort in all of the memories I have.. (starting to smile, laugh, and cry all at the same time) and those will never die.
Just know she will always be smiling down from above,
(and drooling too I'm sure!)
