Please know that she went to Doggie Heaven with no fleas, haircut of less than a week and completely vaccinated. She is wrapped in a lovely piece of pink flannel that was supposed to be for pillow cases for my sister. But I figured she needed something soft and warm. She hated to be cold.
Oh my, I am so so sad. She was just acting funky this morning and I stopped by the vet to see if they could take a quick look. She seemed fine there and so I made the decision to keep her in the car. I was only going to be there a few hours and it would be quiet. When I returned I looked in and she appeared to be sleeping. I then realized she was not breathing. She was a bit warm and had been sleeping.
I had an appointment so I sat for a moment trying to take it all in. Found a towel in the car, wrapped her up and then went to the meeting.
I called Mary-Elizabeth and told her I was driving around with a dead Sadie in the car. I was crying and in her best MEB way she tried to make me feel better.
So I came home in the dark and the rain and went to the garage. Found a spot in the garden and buried her with the help of Jim. He was greatly helpful and worried and sad and surprised and sad. We cried and dug.
I found a lovely piece of pink flannel that was supposed to be pillow cases for my sisterand wrapped her up. Tucker did not want to come near her. She was placed in the ground and gently covered with earth.
I am going to plant a whole bunch of daffodils and a tree on the spot and she will bring brightness and shade for years to come.
Oh, she will be missed, her barking, her instance on being boss, her need to have a treat all the time.
We are a bit teary and will be sad for along time.
