Well, Shadie, my German Shepherd, crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 10:27am at the vet this morning. She was diagnosed with German Shepherd Myopathy and being 10 years old, the vet said she wouldn't survive the surgery. This was so sudden. She was doing just fine 2 days ago before we took her to have her teeth extracted yesterday. The vet said that it was too much so that's why she showed the symptoms rapidly overnight. *sigh* It just happened so quick. I feel like her time came too soon. I was not ready for this, but who is? All I can do is cry and let it all out, and of course, remember all the fun we had together these past 10 years. I still remember that day I went to go get her. It was March 7, 2004, she was a 6 week old puppy and I had just turned 15 2 weeks earlier. I remember seeing her and her brother just standing there in the yard she was born in. It was in Riverside, CA. And I remember my family and I walking into the yard after the owner let us in. He handed us the puppies, and it was love at first sight. She was so cute and wiggly, and I was so happy to take her home. I remember while we were driving home she would cry and cry, until I picked her up and held her in my lap. Then she finally calmed down. And ever since she was my baby, and would follow me where ever I went. My mom called her my shadow cuz of this. I think having her as my shadow is what I'm going to miss the most.

You will always be my baby, forever living on in my heart.
