It is with profound sorrow that I write to inform you that I let my precious little spotted girl go today. I held her in my arms while she passed gently from this world. She started to decline Fri evening. I took her into the vet when I found her practically immobile Sat morning. Her liver had become enlarged and she apparently was in the beginning stages of renal failure. I'll miss seeing the little puffs of dust that used emanate from her back feet as they struck the ground when she trotted ahead of me on our trail. RIP my Minnie. I'll always cherish the time we had together.

I am so sorry for your loss, Nancy. Minnie looks like quite a character in that photo, and it's obvious how much you will miss her.

I got to the gate of heaven today,
After we said good-bye.
I began to miss you terribly,
Because I heard you cry.
Suddenly there was an angel,
And she asked me to enter Heaven's gate.
I asked her if I could wait outside
For someone who would be late.
I wouldn't make much noise, you see,
I wouldn't bark or howl,
I'll only wait here patiently,
And play with my tennis ball.
The angel said I could stay right here
And wait for you to come,
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven
If I went in alone.
So I'll wait right here, you take your time,
But keep me in your heart,
Because Heaven just wouldn't be Heaven
Without you to warm my heart.
Via con Dios, precious little one...

I wish I had; but no, this was another of those "author unknown" pieces that one finds on the Internet.

Oh, Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Minnie was a beautiful girl, and she'll always be with you. But missing their physical presence is a hard, hard go. You're in my prayers.
