I have mentioned that my little Australian shepherd has been sick. Today they found that she had an advanced cancer in her stomach and she was not allowed to wake up after her surgery.
I am heartbroken and I am going to be grieving with her brother Beau. Arrow was a lovely good natured loving dog. She was almost 9 years old and she still played like a puppy. She has a room full of toys and she played with them all as often as possible. She was smart as a whip and knew many English words.
Arrow was also a stubborn runaway when she was off her leash, so she always walked by my side outside. That kept her safe from her wild inclinations.
So tonight I will not be blogging, I may take a few days, just to adjust to life without my little redheaded girl.
Arrow this Mama is going to miss you so much, I hope you are eating your fill and are pain free tonight. Rest in peace, Arrow, I love you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I too have an Australian Shepherd and am an Aussie lover. Losing a beloved pet is never easy. I lost a 3 year old Siberian Husky to cancer. It is never easy. I’ll be thinking about you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a dog is extremely painful. It’s a void you don’t understand until your sweet, soft, supportive pal isn’t there anymore. Take care. 😦

Heartbreaking. The positives in this are that Arrow was loved by you and will continue to be loved for all time. She loved you in return and would no doubt be grateful that you loved her enough to not let her spend her final days in pain. Perhaps she can meet our Aggie and Chiyo who have gone over the Rainbow Bridge in the last five years. Thoughts with you at this sad time. Try to remember and revel in the good ones.

Thank you 🙂 You are right! There is nothing like grieving. It sure does leave a hole. ❤ Sorry for your loss too. Cats are a little judgemental, you are right on that too. SPeaking of cats, our half outside half inside cat has become the comfort cat. He is coming in at night purring and sleeping with Beau and I. It is rather sweet of the serial murderer of all things smaller than him.
