Today we said good-bye to our friend and family member, Panzee. She’s been with us for the past 15 years and has been one of the most faithful and loving dogs we’ve ever known.

She’s been sick a lot lately and losing weight in addition to having trouble getting up and down stairs. She never complained, ever, but it was evident she was suffering. So, we chose to release her from her withered body and send her to puppy heaven.

As you can imagine, it was a sad occasion but we have so many fond memories of her that she’ll live forever in our hearts. Thankfully, Lydia Claire was working at the vet today and helped us weather this new sad phase of our lives.

It will get better, we know, but right now things aren’t quite as much fun.
