Lost a family member last night. Grace, our yellow lab, was lying on the floor
at our feet when she suddenly started panting heavily. She rolled over and
yelped a couple of times and died. Both cats rushed to her and sat while Joan
and I tried to figure out what was going on. She was 12, almost 13, and had
been declining for some time. Her death was not unexpected, but the manner of
it was. We’re glad she went quickly, and, selfishly, we’re glad we didn’t have
to give her that last ride to the vet.
This is an old image, from 2007, but I think it best sums up the moment.
Our house seems empty this morning.
