My dog died today. Her name was Sandy. I know none of us know each other, and most of you probably don't read my books. But tonight hug your animals extra tight, give them extra kisses. My baby girl has cancer, and she was in a lot of pain. We were on our way to the vet this morning so she could be put down. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be there when it happened because I couldn't bare to see her like that. But we didn't make it down the road before she passed away in my sisters arms. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell asleep for the last time. She was such a gentle giant and loved everyone with a passion, and the only thing that assures me that we did her well is that she died surrounded by people who love her. I'm not sure I believe in heaven but if there is a heaven I know she's up there. My baby cousin got a puppy today, and both of them are watching over me and the rest of our family waiting until we can see each other again. So hug your pets tonight, give them kisses and love. Because you don't know when they will pass on to their next life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
