Today I held Sweetie in my arms as we put her to sleep [View all]

We had her 16 years. It was evident today it was best to let her go.

An old post where I introduced Sweetie to the DU: https://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3581271

I don't have the words other than she will be at Rainbow Bridge.
