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.
