Goodbye, Rosie

Though I try to share only joyful things, today I wanted to share something that reminds us to savor each and every day.
This morning we had to say our goodbyes to our old girl Rosie. She suddenly got critically ill, we're still reeling from the speed in which it all happened. She was in her teens and suffered from arthritis and had for some years now. But through it all her tail never stopped wagging. Even today, while enduring the pokings and proddings at the vet, she was sweet and wagged that tail. But her suffering was such that it was only right to let her go. She got to wander around the yard at the vet's with her "dad" sniffing at this and that while we awaited all of the test results.
And that's the way we'll remember her. Everyone loved her and we'll miss her terribly.
She was a part of our lives for 10 years , we found her abandoned by the roadside as a grown up girl.
Farewell, dear Rosebuddy!!!!!
