I can't thank you enough for this post. We said goodbye to our Kizzie girl this past Thursday. I wasn't planning on saying anything about it here at DU because it was still to new, too raw and too sad.
That said, this thread brought a smile to my face. You and all the others here sharing stories makes the hurt a little less. here is my Kizzie girl, with her buddy, Brewser cat. She was a truly peaceful dog. My friends called her the ghandi of dogs.
to everyone for sharing such wonderful stories and memories!
