Four years ago, on October 4th, my mom had to say goodbye to Bagel. Bagel was mom's first dog and the canine love of her life; her doggy soulmate. She adopted Bagel from a shelter in the city where she went to professional school. Unfortunately, they only had three and a half years together before Bagel succumbed to heart disease.
On a happy note - October 4th is also my grandma's birthday - sending out a heartfelt Happy Birthday shout out to my grandmother Sue! Woof.

We understand. Bagel sounds like a heart dog to us. Isn't she lucky to have you now. (But we never forget. They take a little piece of our heart with them when they go)
Hugs and thanks for sharing a pic of Bagel!

PeeEss: Thanks Thanks Thanks ...
The important thing is that his last years were wonderful. My mom also had a doggie soulmate--named Ghillie (follower of a chieftain in Gaelic). As much as she loves all of us now, she said Ghillie was like a symbiote--they went everywhere together. Bagel was so lucky to have such love at the end. Happy birthday to your grandma!
love & wags,

What a sweet expression Bagel had. I'm sure that your mom misses him very much. My person is very fond of beagles since her first dog was a beagle named Holly.
Your friend,
