Today, we had to make the very difficult decision to put our dog to sleep. After finding out that she had lost over 9 pounds since her last check up in November, and listening to what our vet had to say about her ailing health, we decided it was in her best interest to let her go peacefully.
Craig and I were able to take her for one last hike in the canyon and then have the kids meet us at the dog park for one last jaunt with the other puppies. We knew we had made the right decision when she didn't want to have anything to do with any of the other dogs and wasn't very excited to venture into the stream.
While it is so extremely sad to say goodbye to our faithful companion, we know she is in a much better place enjoying a huge bowl of popcorn, running around without a leash and making others happy with her kind and gentle eyes.
We love you dear Aspen, and we will miss you always.
