Her registered name was Toute Sweet, but she was Gracie to us. Gracie passed away at 6:45 tonight, in my arms in the backyard. Her breathing simply slowed as I kissed her goodbye. She was 12 yrs 3 months and 3 weeks. My heart is so broken even though I've been trying to prepare as she got older. I knew it wouldn't last forever, but she was my smart, spirited, dynamic water witch. I used to say she would have been a figurehead on a sailing ship. She was always looking ahead for adventure, from the day we brought her home. She was fearless in the water and never met a mud puddle, icy stream or even a bucket full she didn't love with all her heart. In 2009 she and her pal Xena leaped off a bluff in PEI into the ocean and headed for New Brunswick! My flying Newf.
I will never have another Newf, I think, as feisty, brave and sweet all in one wonderful dog. We miss you, our darling girl.

When I first took Max in to a then new vet, one of his comments was that Newfs are wonderful dogs, they just don't live long enough. RIP sweet Gracie...
