So, I had to make a heartbreaking decision last week. It was time for Star to go to doggie heaven. My precious, sweet, loving, loyal, little four-legged daughter had reached the end of her days here and I couldn't stand watching her struggle through her days any longer.
Star came into our lives as a four year old. Craig and I had just gotten married in April and we got her in August of 2001. Neighbor friends of his parents were getting rid of her due to their adult daughter and her family moving back in. They loved Star dearly but needed to make room and wanted to give her to a good home. Craig took me over to "look" at her and we took her home that day.
She became my shadow, my playmate, my constant faithful companion and the sweetest dog anyone could ever dream of owning. Craig and I loved her from the day we got her and have so many wonderful memories of our precious chocolate lab with her infectious personality, crazy love of the water and her orange toy and her loyalty.
In her final months she had developed a thyroid disorder and was taking medicine and she was having trouble getting around. In her final days, she just couldn't get her back end up anymore without help and we made the heartbreaking decision to end her suffering and let her go to doggie heaven in dignity.
RIP, sweet girl.
