My dog died

while i was in St. Louis this weekend visiting my sister and her family...this is the eulogy i posted on FB...

Our Beloved Santini, at the age of 13, passed away on June 11, this past weekend, while i was away. I had his sweet spirit in my life for over 10 years...graced with his unique personality after finding him wandering the Austin interstate. Full of mange, intestinal and heart-worms, sick with an ear-infection, and fleas the size of raisins (darn near!), with a fresh dog-bite on his forehead -- he came into my life and saved me TWICE from burglary. I'll forever miss his sweet face, his bark that made me giggle, and his funky fur that was never soft! We'll love and miss you always, Santini...Rest In peace, sweet Boy. :o)

Don't feel like writing...will blog tomorrow.

  1. Becky, I only know you because we have the same name. My saved searches always bring me your new blog posts. This headline stopped me cold, and made me want to at least reach out and say, I'm sorry.

  2. Just saw this, Becky. Thank you so much for your kind words. :o) I don't blog anymore and can't figure out how to pull this site down - but i sincerely appreciate you taking the time to reach out to a stranger after experiencing a loss. We've since rescued/adopted two more dogs to keep Santini's companion Addison company - so my heart has healed from the loss, but i miss and think about that sweet doggie often...they never really leave you, do they? :o) Be well!
