Today I decided it was time to put Holly to sleep. I drove her to the Island, bought her a roast beef sandwich from Maceo’s, which she didn’t eat, and took her to the beach where, as a final act of bravery, she had a standoff with a pelican. She was a feisty little thing until the very end.
Then we went to see her vet, who is very sweet and has a horse among other animals, and my brave little fighter went peacefully to sleep. I was very lucky to have fifteen wonderful years with her and I will miss her a lot. But… I couldn’t help but wonder: what kind of adventures does life have in store for a newly dogless gal with a sense of adventure?
Also, I know we’ll meet again on the other side.
