We so celebrate Tenshi, Chester, Amy and Sadie's 3rd birthday. We so try not to mix a celebration with sadness but we can't control life. Therefore, I apologize to the celebratory families. If you have created half the life Shoshi has experienced then you are on the right track with your havanese. We have so many memories that we will hold dear forever!
Today, we had to make a decision to let Shoshi cross over the rainbow bridge. It wasn't an easy decision. We have had almost 16 years with her. She was never a show dog. She was Shoshi with the coat from hell, a curled tail and a huge personality. There's no duplicate Shoshi. She is a one and only as they all are.
The loss hurts like hell so it will take time to recover.
I have lost many dogs since my 1st springer spaniel at 6. I can tell you each is unique but if you give them the life they deserve, you have created a treasure trove of memories. I could go on and on with all my memories of Shoshi. The flipside those memories hurt like hell till they turn into fun stories - sometimes bittersweet but the smiles come and they live on in your heart and soul.
Good bye, little one. We have had an amazing journey together. Just wish we had 16 more years with you!
Sorry for the downer. Dogs had fun today. We mustered great happeness with all of the crew. They had a great deal of fun!
