Angel

Today was a sad day ; my sweet little dog, Angel, passed away at home. Angel has been an important member of our family for the past 14 1/2 years, and we will miss her very much!

A spunky, little Maltese, Angel lived a full happy life. She had amazing energy, was affectionate, smart, and so attentive to our moods and behaviors. Lately though, she had been slowing down a bit, she couldn't see or hear as well as in the past; but even this morning she walked around outside, ate her breakfast, had some treats, and took a bath. Late in the afternoon she died softly and quietly in her little bed in the living room, so sweet and so gentle. I will miss her very much, but I am grateful to have been fortunate enough to share her life.
Goodbye dear friend; I love you sweet baby!

  1. so sorry to hear of your loss....but how lovely that she passed peacefully at home after such a "normal" day. our pets are such an integral part of our lives and family. we love them so deeply (as I'm sure they love us), that we grieve at their passing because we just don't want to lose their physical presence in our lives. it's a selfish, knee jerk reaction....and, oh, so human. How blessed we are to share their lives even for a brief time. Much love to you and your family. Pam
