I just found out that my old neighbor and friend Shadow is no longer with us. He was diagnosed with kidney failure a couple of months ago and seemed to be doing well but last week he took a turn for the worst. Shadow was a very happy and energetic Sheltie who was rescued as a young boy from a shelter in Michigan. He had many great years with his human family, feline siblings, and his canine brothers Riley (yes! same name as my brother), and Kolby who "crossed the bridge" last summer.My brother, my departed sister Bagel and I met Riley, Kolby and Shadow the summer of 2003 when we moved next door. I have so many fond memories of the six of us going on walks and zipping around the neighbor's yard causing shenanigans wherever we went!
While I know in my heart that Shadow, Kolby, and Bagel are at peace chasing rabbits and rolling in stinky things in Dog heaven this is very hard for me because I know how terribly the family is suffering their loss.
woof.

I am so sorry Toffee to hear about your good friend. I wonder if every year we should all pick a day and release a balloon in the air filled with lightweight snackies and a note to our friends who have gone before us....I wonder if NASA would take a photo from the space station and we could see all the balloons being released at the same time, all over the world....

I hate the sad news, but momma says I should be happy because doggies don't have to suffer the way the peoples do. I was so sad when Grandpa Angus and Beautiful Raja went away forever, but momma says they are at peace.
