We Say Goodbye To Left Wing Cracker’s Friend

Silky In The Middle

She is in the middle of the page, sitting happily on her pillow.

I was there when she was born to her mother (in the foreground), and I was there with her this morning when I had to say goodbye. She had developed pancreatic problems and suffered cerebral edema, and didn’t know who I was. When I picked her up from the emergency clinic this morning to take her back to her regular vet, I knew she wasn’t coming back.

For those like me, who have no children, our pets become our children, and she was mine, more so than any I have had; Lauren would always note that Missy was always everyone’s dog, but Silky was mine, and I loved her.
