    A sad update. After almost 2 years with us, Zoey crossed the Rainbow Bridge today. Her arthritis worsened and worsened to the point that she couldn't stand, let alone walk, anymore. We had a lovely vet from Caring Pathways come to the house today, and she did such a beautiful job helping Zoey rest peacefully. Calvin, Curbee and Coco were on the blanket with her the entire time. When she was gone, Calvin sniffed her, then literally hung his head and went inside to lay down (he has never once gone in the house if I'm outside).

    Although only with us 2 years, she quickly became family, and was best friends with my wife. She was an incredibly wise old soul, and taught us much about stoicism and grace. No matter her pain, she was always bright-eyed and wagging. She was the epitome of a peaceful being.

    I really thought we were going to lose her sooner, but for the last 3 months, we've had a vet coming to the house twice a week doing acupuncture, laser treatments, e-stim, and other pain-management modalities, as well as extensive prescription combinations. This absolutely extended her life, with quality. Happy to PM info if anyone has a need. Zoey also wore a harness with handles that allowed us to assist her (and then fully carry her).

    Zoey, you were an amazing girl. You will be missed, and remembered.

    Of course, I notified Sparky before posting this.
