Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

I am sad to report that Gracee Mae passed away Tuesday, at age 11 1/2, from bone cancer that had obliterated her hip bone before showing any symptoms. What a shock. We took her into the vet on Sunday as she was in pain and had a slight limp.The vet thought it was backstrain and put her on pain meds and lyrica for nerve pain. The pain steadily got worse and we took her in on Tuesday. She was x-rayed and a difficult decision had to be made. Our sweet Gracee girl is gone.

    Oh, dear Gracee. I’m so sorry, and will miss her, also. Now she’s romping with Mackie, and having a gay ol’ time.

    😦 Tears today for both me and sean. But smiles when we remember her chasing the cows in the field at Timberline… And her taunting tongue 🙂 Miss you sweet Grace.

    It’s nearly 8 years since I went through nearly the same thing and the pain still is raw some days, despite the fact that another pup came to me soon after. They are all as individual and wonderful as snowflakes and we are honored by their love and devotion. Take heart, all those we love are with us always.
