This was so beautiful but hit so close to home, I had to read it in 2 parts.
My Frannie (also a rescue & Southern Transplant) has a liver tumor. She’s doing great & loving life…(except for some digestive issues), she’s 11…yet we’re living with the knowledge that everything could change overnight.
But that’s what dogs teach us, isn’t it? Our Angels with Stinky Poop teach us that it’s all fleeting; that doing everything right or everything wrong or some combination of the two still doesn’t put us in control of time, or nature, or what can happen to those we love most.
I’m so sorry for your loss of Augie, who looks like my perfect “type” of dog. Your daughter’s experiences with him will teach her gentleness, empathy & respect for all living creatures.
He came, he lived & loved well, & sadly, he left in his own time.
May his memory bring more smiles & laughter than tears.
