On Friday I put my little doggy, little Bookie (or Tiny, or Boo Boo, or Tinyliciousboobookhan - she answered to them all) to sleep.  This is such a hard post to write.  I really miss her.  She was just so old, and her health was so unstable, and her care amounted to hospice care.  We are leaving town a couple of times soon, and I wouldn’t be able to find care for her because she was so nervous and bit people so easily.  She soiled her bed at least twice a day, and we mopped up messes at least five times a day.  Her vet thought she could die at any time, and I couldn’t stand to think of her dying all alone while we were out of town.

 

So I took her to the vet, and I put her to sleep, and it broke my heart.

 

She was my first little girl, my little girl for over 15 years.  

 

I really, really miss her.
