My CC was 16,almost 17! We had to guess her exact age..She was a pit bull mix- who was a direct rescue as a bait dog. She was the gentlest soul you would ever meet. She never met an animal,or child she didn’t love. No matter how much they pulled or tugged on her. She was a beautiful soul! She would grieve like a human when she lost a fur sister or brother. She grieved for almost a year when her adoptive mommy Gizmo passed. She grieved for 6 months when our kitty Vestor passed. She was also my trash hound- even till the end. You could never keep her out of it. If you forgot to move a trash can,it was to your detriment. She knew she did wrong,but she would just look at you like “it’s just so good,I’m sorry”. We would be upset for a moment- but that was part of who she was. She loved sunlight and warmth. I would have to actually bring her inside in summer after an hour- as she would lay all day and give herself a heat stroke if we allowed it. She loved to be “burrito” wrapped in blankets and snuggled. She was definitely a bed hog. She would put her head on the pillow next to you and stretch out like a human. She was the adopted mommy to Lucy ( Lulu) who is our 11 yr old Red Heeler,and to our daughters golden doodle,Trixie,and our kitties Kemper and Bug.
Her human siblings,Richie,Brian,Kathleen,Cristina,Alaina,and John are heartbroken,as well as her mommy and daddy,and many other family members and friends who knew and loved her!
She was my buddy for 16,just shy of 17 years. My heart is broken with her gone.
