Farewell to Sarah

[altivo]

You were a good dog. Always friendly, always ready to snuggle or be petted, ready to play or settle at just a word or a hint. We teased you about being a "Polish Elkhound" but you learned English words (more of them than I ever thought likely) very quickly once you came to stay with us. You were good to Simon, and considerate of him when he began to slow down. I think he will miss you even more than we do.

Humans sometimes say of dogs that you don't live long enough, and that may be true. But you all seem to know when you've had enough, and you made it clear this week. We tried, but it was time and it would only have hurt you had we kept you around longer against your wishes. Good girl.

That'll do.

May we meet again, sweetie.
