Tribute to Sonne - A Gift

Our sweet, sweet doggie passed away this week.  She was diagnosed with heart disease 1 1/2 weeks ago and we had her on all kinds of medications to help her heart and fix the fluid on her lungs and heart.









The meds seemed to work the first couple days.  Her strength got better and we thought she would make a turn for the better.  The doctor said that if it all worked as planned we might even get one more year with her. 



After those couple good days things slowly got worse.  She eventually wouldn't eat and had no strength to move.  We had an appointment on Tuesday morning to go to the vet and say our goodbyes.  I drove her there separately before the crew came along, to get everything worked out. 
While in the waiting room for only a few minutes Sonne passed away in my arms.



We brought Sonne into our lives in my arms back in Arizona and she left our lives in my arms in Colorado.  It was a tough day.  We had her for 15 1/2 beautiful years. 



A great life.  She loved us, traveled with us, played with our 3 kiddos.  She was a perfect dog for our family.  A gift from above. 




Sonne saw many changes in our lives.  Our careers staring in a new city, our marriage, our 3 children, 3 more new houses. 

 After our first baby she started to grey.  It was subtle at first but in the end she was very beautiful and very white.

We will forever remember our wonderful doggie and all the joy she brought to our lives.
