Sarah this is such a nice commemorative piece for your sweet Abby💝. As a mom of dogs I am just fearing the day… I love that you gave her a cheese party — it brings new meaning to “comfort food”🐾💙💜💛💫✨🌈
Thank you Bonnie! Abby was such an epicure ~ she knew which cheeses were worth her time: Buffalo mozzarella, yes please. A cellophane wrapped slice of orange American? Not so much 😂😂
With heavy heart and tender words, you captured the ache of loss, and the startling realization of gain in lives well-lived. When my beloved golden ‘s time on earth was near, we celebrated with Reese’s peanut butter cups. PB his favorite, and he could experience chocolate at long last.
Thank you Amie ~ it’s funny (or maybe not so much) my other Newfie can consume chocolate 🍫 like no one’s business…unless it’s a full 2+ lb bag of Nestle semi sweet chips…while it didn’t kill her, it almost did my carpet 🤮🤮
Sarah, I’m so sorry for your loss of your dear Abby. I love your tribute to her and I have been there with our first Westie, who lived to be 16 &1/2, so I could certainly relate. I believe that our first Westie saved my life, in so many ways. It is so hard to say goodbye….sending you a warm hug.
Thanks MJ ~ I know you know how our pets hold our hearts. A friend sent this to me today and it is (also) so true:
“And it is exceedingly short, his galloping life. Dogs die so soon. I have my stories of that grief, no doubt many of you do also. It is almost a failure of will, a failure of love, to let them grow old—or so it feels. We would do anything to keep them with us, and to keep them young. The one gift we cannot give.”
Oh Sarah, thank you for writing this as hard as it may have been. Sweet Abby . I’m so saddened by your loss of her. So lovely how u spent ur last days w her. Cheese!

Thanks Kathy ~ these babies certainly care for us in extraordinary ways.
Your tribute to Abby was lovely. The goodbye to her, I know, is one of the toughest. I’m holding both of you in my heart!❤️
