Savannah's Dairy - Erriviate

In memory of my beautiful dog Savannah.

It is with great sadness that I must share to you, all my friends and family, that Andrew and I had to put to sleep our beloved dog, Savannah. After an amazing 14.8 years, Savannah suffered a stroke in the morning hours of November 19 as a result of cancer that had spread all of her body and into her brain. Noting really prepares you for the loss of a pet. I am completely devastated . . . how does one go from having the presence of such a wonder creature to nothing. I am not sure how I will get over this (but I know I will). It all happened so quickly. So it turns out that she had cancer riddled throughout her body and into her brain, which caused the stroke. We did not know she had cancer. After several long hours of waiting and wondering how she was going, the vet brought Savannah in to see me and Andrew. She had to be carried in, and her eyes were very droopy. She laid down next to me, her head in my lap. I looked into her eyes and she looked into mine. We both connected and spoke to each other with our hearts. At the moment I knew. The vet didn’t even tell us at first what was wrong, I just knew. It was time. I was able to hold her in my arms until she passed completely, which was important to me because I did not want her to die alone. Andrew was there too. I am so beside myself with grief and tears that I feel like a part of me has died. I know this will get easier with time, but everything reminds me of her. The morning-for her walks; the showers-where she laid until I was finished; coming home from work through the front door-where she always was waiting for me. I wonder if she knew how much I loved her. I hope she did. I am going to miss her so very much. It was an incredible journey. The pain is overwhelming, but I hope never goes completely away because I never want to forget her, and how much she impacted my life. I love u my puppy, my doggy, my Savannah

Timothy the cat

I was visiting my daddy in San Francisco (I have two Daddies) over the weekend and Daddy’s cat “Timothy” corned me in the bedroom and yelled at me (in a hissing voice). He would not let me out! He scares me! I just want to be friends! Oh dairy, what should I do?
