Blogging to Paradise

Over the last months Annie, our other “rescue” dog, has been getting less and less mobile and in more distress. She has basically lost the use of her hind legs. She cries a bit and is clearly unhappy and (possibly) in pain.

Annie and Sam used to run and play (and bark at the squirrels) in our half-acre side yard. Annie was like a greyhound, she could run like the wind - though not nearly as fast as a deer, as we found out (long story).

In recent years they had both slowed down considerably (as we all tend to do), and then Sam passed away last New Year’s Eve. Annie never got over the loss of her companion of 14 years.

So today we decided to have Annie put to sleep. She is gone now. We like to think she’s back playing with Sam and running like she used to - maybe even as fast as a deer now!
