Writing this post was something I was not going to do. I mean, I didn't want anyone to think I was an old softy. But, I finally decided that it is something I just needed to do.
This past weekend was a bit of a struggle for me, as I said goodbye to my furry little buddy Maria. She had been getting noticeably more frail the last little while. I took her in to see the vet and it wasn't a joyful visit. But he did send me home with a prescription and we scheduled a follow-up appointment. Saturday night I held her in my arms and gave her the antibiotic and laid her back down on her bed. I told her good-bye as I was heading out for a couple hours. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that my good-bye would be my last. But rather focus on the sad, I choose to think of the happiness you brought into the Painter household. You were a fierce protector, a yapper, a vacuum cleaner, and most importantly a loyal friend. You brought many, many smiles to our family. Thanks my friend!
