Yesterday, after five years in our family, at only six years old, my sweet baby girl laid down in the sun one last time. We still don’t know what happened, but my guess is her heart just wasn’t strong enough to keep ticking. She was out in the yard just sniffing around and a minute later she wasn’t breathing. I’ve always been fearful of something crazy like this so I have memorized the steps of dog CPR, but it was to no avail. My poor baby girl is gone. I’m not sure my wife and I will ever move on from this. We decided years ago that children were not in our future plans, but our dogs would be our children. Daddy’s little girl was the middle child, survived by her big brother (9 years) and her new baby sister (5 months). After a year of begging I finally agreed to get another puppy and expand our family to five. Now that my baby is gone, four just doesn’t seem right. She was the glue that held us all together. Her little sister and big brother don’t get along well, but she was always there to be the cuddling partner of whichever one needed it. She had daily wrestling matches with her little sister, and chased every squirrel with her big brother. She loved all people, but she especially loved children. She was a big kisser and would always let you know how much she loved you. She was a daddy’s girl through and through, following me wherever I went. I woke up every morning to her head on my chest. I left for work every day after kissing her head and tucking her back in. When I got home she always first to greet me. I would get down on my knees and she would jump up on my shoulders for a big hug. Demi, you were amazing and I’ll never forget you. Rest easy, baby girl. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.
