I am so very blessed
I just came back from the vet's office, where we put to rest one of the best damn dogs on the planet. She, Khimear (pronounced "Come Here") God Dammit, was my companion for 17 years, and in that time provided me with the purest form of friendship and love. She helped pull me through some difficult times by simply wagging her tail and giving me a kiss on the cheek.
In the past five years, she'd gone completely deaf and arthritis had taken over her body. Just this past week she'd developed a horrible, gutteral cough that sounded like it was rattling her body.
She was a wonderful friend, and was my very first baby. I am so gonna miss that dog.
