We've now let two special pets go, Athena was 15 and had a good life - loved chicken McNuggets on the road, but arthritis caught up with her. Shadow though was not yet 12 when a blood disease took her in less than 24 hours. That one was a shock. We took Sadie with her to the vet when it happened so she would know that Shadow was "gone". We could only go a few weeks before adding another, "Kai Anne" to the family.
With each one, we've learned they all share many of the same poodle behavior characteristics, but they each have a unique personality. And have realized each one adds to the store of good times and memories you have with them.
