Another puppy in heaven...

Our beautiful Copper went to join Colby, Crete and Ripley on Thursday. We knew when we chose not to do the surgery for her spleen removal over the summer that our time with her was limited. We assumed maybe 6-12 months and that she would slow down a lot over that period of time. However, the end came much quicker than we assumed. While we got an additional 6 months, we didn't see the end coming when it happened. She went from feeling fine to being gone in a matter of hours. She had a long life for a dog her age, but she will be very missed. We have her ashes coming back to us next week and she will be put with Freddie, as she should be. We haven't decided what to do with their ashes, but we knew we wanted them to be together. It's been a tough year for the Snell family and our beloved pets...my heart goes out for all of our losses.
