My Dog Heidi June 1999 - December 26 2009

After several months of contemplation, several seizures and visits to the veterinarian, the heartbreaking decision was made to put Heidi to sleep the day after Christmas. We waited as long as we could, but on Saterday the 26th after another seizure, I realized that the tumor behind her eye was only getting worse.

 It was almost like having one of your children pass away.







Amanda taught her this ! !



And this.........







 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 





































She was always good with children and babies.






In the Rocky Mountains



What ever you do ....... don't look down.



Are we there yet???




She loved to go camping, especially on the islands at Sebastian Inlet. And yes, we did let her sleep in our tent even when she was wet. She always slept with us. She was very social.




Guarding the shrimp. She liked to bite the water when a passing boat would make waves.

That was such a nice tribute to Hedi.
I know how you feel, I felt the same way when Fuzzy got sick and I had to have him put to sleep. You never forget.
