I know this may confuse you all because my crossing date is Sepmber 12th but here in Australia we are 11-17 hours ahead of the USA so today is actually the 12th here which is when I passed.
Sharna's Mum:
This is Sharna's mum talking now. I know that it came as a shock to everyone when Sharna passed, mostly because it was so sudden. It was a terrible day for my whole family and I still remember it very cleary. I dont want to remember Sharna as the dog I saw on the vet table that sad day, I want to remember her as the strong, loving and gentle dog that she was.
I was reading through her diary entry yesterday and I found one from the day before she passed. As I read it a huge smile went across my face and I couldnt help but laugh. Here is what it said.
Did I hear a dog?

Last night I was lying on the floor next to the couch scrathing myself and mum was flicking through the TV channels. She saw Air Bud and stopped on that channel because she loves Golden Retrievers. Anywho, it was up to one part when Air Bud was whinning and barking. As soon as I heard the whinning I turned around and started whinning back. I got up and looked every where for that dog and the noises just kept coming. I just couldnt find him. Then mum started laughing at me and I couldnt figure out why. Silly humans.
You were happy up until that sad day and I am thankful for everyday that you were in my life. You will always hold a special place in my heart no matter how much time goes on.
I found this song by one of my favourite artists, Delta Goodrem and I thought it was good for this occasion. So I will end this diary entry with those lyrics. To all you other mums out there cherish every day with your furbabies because you never know when it will come to an end.
"A Year Ago Today"
Another year older
A little bit stronger
A little bit wiser than? a year ago today
Looking over my shoulder
I was so much younger then
I can't believe what happened
A year ago today
And I just can't forget about it
It wouldn't mean a thing
You went away
A year ago today
Another year gone by
Oh the tears have run dry
Life seemed so unkind
A year ago today
And I just can't understand it
And I don't think I ever will
You went away
A year ago today
And I just can't understand it
And I don't think I ever will
You went away
A year ago today
And how many times have I questioned myself
What more could I do
And how many times did I fool myself
Over you oh? yeah
You've gotta pick yourself up,
Take another look
And dust yourself off cause life's too good,
I'll say it to myself and I'll say it again
Love will never end
And though we're so far apart
You're forever in my heart
Another year older
A little bit stronger
On this anniversary
You're watching over me
You went away
A year ago today
