This photo of Shady, our Lab, was taken at 3:30 pm May 6 2006. Shady joined our family from the SPCA on September 11, 2004 at age 3 1/2.
This is how we will remember her.
Loving and protective of us, always ready for a walk, a dog cookie or scruffies, Shady was uncertain and avoided anything unfamiliar. But she accompanied her 'pack' anywhere they led her. She was clear about what she would and would not tolerate to the very end.
Her liver disease progressed so rapidly. Too rapidly..... so destructively....
Our last trip to the vet with her yesterday October 11, 2007 was one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make. We miss our dear loving companion. We will carry wonderful memories of her with us forever.
