Our dearest puppy and Loyal companion passed away yesterday. He died of natural causes in the comfort of our home. He simply went outside and laid out in sun and fell asleep. The children came upon him, and yelled "Theres something wrong with Ty." I calmly got up, and knew. I had been expecting it. I was hoping nothing grotesque or toooo hard to see was going to happen. Sure enough, Ty's loyaltist puppy Billy was the first to find him. And to Billys own benifit, Ty looked like he was sleeping. He helped me wrap him in a sheet and we said our goodbyes. Billy cried for most the day. I reminded him over and over that no dog could ask for a better life, or a better death. I dont know if he understands, but Im sure it will stick with him for a life time. I will be interested to hear his perspective on this story when he's 25. I will miss my loyal stud of a dog. Jehovah is amazing to grant us the privilege to love creatures, and to feel so loved when they are loyal back.
My baby!!! I loved that sweet dog. So loyal. I will forever miss my Ressey. ;( <3
