"We took her outside one last time. She found a shady spot, laid down in the grass, enjoyed the cool Spring breeze, and soaked up all the love Nick and I could give her. She looked so peaceful in this moment - it's as if she knew it was her time. It was a beautiful ending for a beautiful dog.
She walked with me through all of life's seasons, and her loyalty and love never wavered. She was smart, fun, energetic, goofy, gentle, and she had the sweetest soul. She was family. And she was simply the best.
Phoenix passed over the rainbow bridge on Tuesday, just shy of her 15th birthday, surrounded by her favorite people and her doggie sister. My grief is the cost of her peace, but peace was the last gift I could give her. I'm grateful for the 12.5 years I had with her and the thousands of pictures and memories I'll keep forever.
I'd like to think Phoenix is right where she belongs - running through endless fields of wildflowers, chasing birds and little critters, happy, painless, and free.
See you on the other side, girlie.
A special "Thank You" to Angel Veterinary Services for providing a peaceful passing in the comfort of her own home."
