Tootsie Roll

I've known for some time now that Tootsie was really beginning to show her age. She has always kept that "puppy" personality and has looked so young for such a long time. But lately her quality of life has really gone down. She was beginning to lose her hearing and eye sight. Last weekend she developed a very serious eye infection in both her eyes and today I took her to the vet to have it checked out. She was given several meds to take and the vet said he heart sounded really good....especially since she would have been 15 in July.

Well tonight the thing that I have dreaded most happened. We are all numb right now thinking about our Toots no longer being with us. I had been preparing myself for a while now knowing that she probably would not be with us much longer, but to lose her is just breaking my heart.

We all love you, Tootsie. I take comfort in believing that God has very special place for our beloved pets and that she is now enjoying playing with Snickers. Some day I hope to be reunited with all the pets in my life that showed me unconditional love and how life should be lived.
