***A kiss for Bernie as she rests on my kitchen floor the morning of January 7, 2009***
Bernie arrived in Puppy Heaven today, passing peacefully at noon. She was 15(ish).
She woke up exhibiting some new, concerning symptoms, and it was clear that the time was as right as it ever could be.
I stroked her hair and talked to her while her spirit ran toward Poochie, my former dog and Bernie's best buddy for a few years. Poochie taught Bernie how to be a good dog, and they were delighted to be reunited today.
I will miss Bernie dearly and more than I can begin to describe. Tonight will be the first night I've ever spent in this house without Bernie resting nearby.
More to come here, including a bunch of thank you's to people and a couple more stories, including why the past few months with Bernie were an absolute miracle. Also, I posted pics throughout the blog, so check them out.
Peace to all, especially you, Bernie.

Farewell, Bernie, you hairy beast. You will be missed.
Bernie a true gift to all who knew her. Crazy fire engine pupp. I'm sorry Chad.
Bernie sounds like an amazing dog...and it is wonderful you were able to spend as much time with him(?) as you did.
