After battling a long liver illness, Daisy left this Vale of Tears today, at approximately 5:50 PM, to join her lifemate Henry Herman in the warm and gracious Summerland.
She was Aunt Tudi's companion, so Aunt Tudi is currently deeply devastated, much like I was when Henry passed on. She couldn't even be present when Dr. Patch euthanised Daisy. She doesn't handle death very well.
This past week was pretty bad for Daisy. She was unable to keep anything down when she did eat, which wasn't that often, and her bladder was starting to fail her. On top of that she couldn't get comfortable in any position. Aunt Tudi and I both knew she was miserable. It was time to go.
I only hope that someone cares enough about me to let me go when it's my time.
I posted this picture when Henry died, but I post it again now to honour Daisy. She's the light brown beagle on the right.

The house is severely diminished without the presence of a beagle.
The heart aches.

Dogs are made of love and fur.
Let your dog take you for a walk.
Dogs are sure things.
Some little known dog secrets: Dogs have no secrets
Dogs are like vanilla ice cream: reliably delicious.
Dogs are wise agents directly from Heaven.
If you had a tail, wouldn't you wag it?
There are no bad dogs.
Be your dog's best friend.
Dogs like dancing, drive in movies and dreaming.
God made dogs and spelled His own name backwards!
Dogs make great therapists.
Kiss your dog all the time.
Some dogs are nap dogs.
Dogs invented unconditional love.
Dogs are party animals.
Apply dog logic to life: eat well, be loved,get petted,sleep a lot, dream of a leash free world.
