Some of you know her simply as Dog. Others know her better as HeyLeigh.
I buried HeyLeigh yesterday.
Her health has been on a steady decline since the beginning of the year. The evening before we left Annapolis (Wednesday) she collapsed. I thought she’d died but she pulled it together for a couple more days. Yesterday morning she came out on the deck with me for coffee as usual. A short time later she couldn’t stand up and her breathing was labored.
HeyLeigh has been the only constant in my life for 15 years. She always had a sparkle in her eye and a wag to her tail.
I sat on the deck and held her for an hour then took her to the vet.
Moments before the vet came into the room I leaned down and spoke into her ear something I’ve told her countless times.
“It’s just you and me Kid. Just you and me.”
I will miss her. I already do!
