Gosh, so sorry to read this Jane. Looking back, I gather she just shy of 11 1/2. Didn't know she was having issues. Snuffles and I will shed a tear for sure for his half sister and your will be in our thoughts.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Of course I'll be thinking of her (and you!!). I can't imagine what that Bridge reunion will look like!
Leonard is correct, she is almost 11 1/2. She's been having a lot of difficulty getting around lately and the last few days has been in some pain. And there's a tumor on her knee that looks suspicious.
Anyway, I will miss her and her uncanny ability to tell time. I'll miss her barks that let me know when it's time to eat, or sleep, or potty, or fix a peanut butter bone for her. Most of all, I'll miss how very sweet and nurturing she has always been to anyone who needed some comfort. I was so counting on her to help me with Spirit. I thought she would ease his anxiety and show him that he's safe here. She's always been so helpful in those ways. She was my strength when Hugo left us, but I think his passing really was harder on her than me.
My brother came over this morning so we could celebrate her Christmas early. I had presents for her and made her a big stocking that looks like a bone. Couldn't bear to just leave it hanging over the fireplace, so we just thought she should have now.
OK no more rambling. Still coming to terms with this, but I think my heart is broken beyond repair.

Oh Jane...I'm so sorry to learn of Piper's passing. No matter how many you have to say goodbye to, it never gets any easier.
Hug tight to Spirit and comfort each other.

Well, my beautiful girl has started her journey. Ironically, just as the truck pulled away, the little girls down the street walked up with their brand new puppy. I needed a puppy kiss and hug and was eagerly obliged by my new little friend.
Leonard - you will be happy to know that their was nothing weird or "gallows humor" funny about the crematory service picking her up. The vet made sure they sent two people this time and they couldn't have been nicer. They even apologized again for the Hugo incident, which still makes me smile at times.
So bye, bye my pretty baby girl. I'm going to miss your tender kisses a lot.
