My dog Ivy was put to sleep today. She was 17 years old.

I remember getting off the bus and cutting through neighbors yards to get to my house. My mom would let Ivy out the back door and she would sprint across the yard to see me.

I remember my dad holding on to her while my brother and I ran off to hide. She would come looking and invariably find us.

She was so smart. I love her so much.

I remember when her vision and hearing started to go, and she would still kick and whimper while she slept. I liked to believe, as she got older, that she slept more because she could still see and hear in her dreams.

I remember saying goodbye to her this morning and kissing her on the head for the last time.

I miss her so much. I'll never know another dog like her.

Sometimes I want to believe in heaven just so I know I'll see her again someday.




Goodnight, Ivy.
