Peps crossed the rainbow bridge tonight.
It was her 15th birthday and International Dog Day.
We had a wonderful last summer together. She spent 51 consecutive nights with me in the travel trailer touring through BC's East and West Kootenays and Boundary Country.
I'm going to miss her in the passenger seat of the truck just staring at me as I drive through the countryside.
She was still walking 3-4 km a day with me right up to last week. She had some sort of seizure and was making a hell of a noise in the back yard. When I rushed out to help her she bit my face resulting in several deep puncture wounds. She wasn't herself and I didn't take that into consideration when trying to get her out of her situation.
I have dreaded this day coming for quite some time and now that she has passed I feel very much at peace with her leaving us. I will miss her terribly. Goodbye beautiful dog!
