Sweet Shelby.......your last years were your best years. Happy trails, little girl. Tell the boys "hey" for us.

 

Kyle, I'm so sorry........trust a sweet girlie to take a hard decision out of your hands, and head for the bridge in her own time, in her own way.

Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.

No No No...not sweet Shelby.

 

Oh Kyle...I am heartbroken for you and Lynn.

 

You gave that old gal such a greyt life for the past couple of years.

 

 

We lost one of our Dobes suddenly.

Alive and happy one minute... and collapsed on the floor and gone the next.

 

It's such a shock, but nothing that you could have done

Thanks for giving Shelby such a wonderful life, full of love.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Kyle and Lynn, I am so very sorry. It's true, how thoughtful and loving of Shelby to spare you from having to make a decision for her. My eyes are leaking as I type this. The seniors steal and break our hearts at the same time, but, there is no love like that from a senior. Shelby must have had quite the welcome when she arrived. :heart:grouphug

 

Godspeed pretty girl f_yellow

I'm so sorry. I'm glad she found her way to you so that she could enjoy the last years of her life in the way she should have enjoyed all of it. I wish she'd been able to stay a while longer.

 

Godspeed Shelby.

She waited eleven years to find your family, Kyle. And then she was home. Finally home.

 

I am so sorry for your loss of your pretty girl. :grouphug

I am so very sorry! She always did do things her way, didn't she? She was able to pack a lifetime into the short time she spent with you.

I'm so very sorry for your sudden your sudden loss. I was smiling through tears when I saw her smile in her "squinty" pic. What a beautiful girl, and as quiet as she was, she knew she was loved by you. She was so fortunate to be brought into your family, I wish she could have known your love longer.

 

Godspeed, gorgeous girl and send a sign of peace to your family.

I'm so sorry for this sudden loss, Kyle. She did things on her own terms, including her leave-taking. How lucky she was to spend even a few years with your family!

Godspeed, Shelby.

Oh what a sweet soul. With eyes like hers you don't need to say anything else. My heart is breaking for you. I know it is a whole new kind of pain when an elderly adoption crosses over. Aggie was 11 when I adopted her and she made it to 14 1/2. Thank you for opening your heart and home and making Shelby's dream come true- she crossed over as a beloved pet who will never be forgotten. You just know Charlie has already given her dog hugs. My deepest sympathy. God bless all.
