My brother-in-law Joe and my Sis' pup "Stubby" passed away this morning on September 2nd, after having trouble breathing and problems over the last few months. Joe had Stubby since she was 2 years old, she lived to be 14 in pup years.
She was a clever pup, she had a great personality and loved attention. I remember meeting her for this first time and being introduced, to a round rump of this brown pup, as she appropriately so liked to invite people to rubbing her but...apparently her favorite spot, as well as her belly. Stubby was like every other dog out there, striving for attention and to be loved, but she certainly had her own unique character traits and personality like any other. Stubby could easily make you feel warm and comfortable in a room just by plopping herself down waiting for you to rub her head.
It would have been nice I think to have her around when Katie and Joe's child comes along, sometime around February next year, but it was time for her to go. She hadn't been herself in a long time and it just wasn't good for her to continue to go through what she went through. Katie told me that she and Joe were by her side as they think she may have passed on, holding her before they rushed her to the vet.
Here's to you Stubby, a positive proof that the world creates gifts in our world through incredible means.
I'll always remember her as "Stuff-a-lupagous" or "Stubbers."
