Last night was really hard.  We had to let go of our beloved Sanibel.

 

Here she is several years ago, the only difference is now she has a lot more gray (don’t we all?)

 

 

 

 

She has been our faithful friend for 13 years, since she was just a pup of a couple months old.  Yes, labs chew a lot. They shed. They get excited.  But over all that they just want to love and be loved.

I didn’t run to facebook or twitter or ello or any of my usual outlets to say anything.  Yesterday I was crushed.  Today I’m numb.  It wasn’t anything tragic, just her age caught up finally.

Here she was, yesterday, enjoying the wind and sun on her face for the last time.

 

Goodbye, dear friend.
