There is nothing quite like the silent yet constant love from a pet. Our Doberman Pincher who had been battling kidney disease for the last few years succumbed yesterday morning. It was pretty fast and she never whimpered. She stumbled a few times and then laid down on the floor and passed in about 2 deep breaths.

There will never be another like her. Smart and loving. She no longer suffers, at least she is at peace now. She knew the end was coming that morning as she asked to go out as she always does. She just didn’t want to come back inside. Almost as if she didn’t want me to see her go. I coaxed her in so I could be with her if it happened.

Rest in Peace Antsi.
