Today, our first doggy took her last car ride. She was the best companion during my husband's deployment. She was one of the smartest dogs I have ever met. She outsmarted us several times. She was my workout buddy and friend. Sometimes though, you just know.
While this is hard for all of us, I am so proud of my kids. Being farm kids, teaches you about life. It also teaches you about death. We appreciate the life lived, we grieve the absence and we learn that all of it is what makes life. I fear in our society today, many do not understand this value of life and the finality of death. Rest in peace, my loyal companion. You are loved, Roxi dog.
