Shelby and Me Smiling 2 My dog, Shelby, was my constant companion for 15 years. She and I went through so much together. It was her and I against the world. When I woke up this morning, she was in obvious pain and distress. She could barely walk and in agony. Turned out she had cancer and I had had no idea. It was in her mammaries, liver and kidneys. She couldn’t eat and she could barely walk. Even if they could stop her stomach pain, she still had cancer and there was no way to stop it. So, I let her go with as much dignity as I could and it was peaceful.

I will miss her forever. Sleep well, my pookahbear. You were the best dog.
