Missing you, Dotty

Dotty, our darling schipperke, left us on Thursday 16 July 2009 at 8:00 a.m. She was 46 days short of turning fifteen.

Although we were preparing ourselves for the worst, it still wasn't easy to say goodbye when the time came. The vet who was very gentle and kind, have to guide my hands to the dotted line for I could hardly see where to sign. I was both there and not there. And my heart broke right then.

This picture was taken on the day before her departure, and I now carry it in my iPhone.

We love you, Dotty. Always.
