We said good bye to our wonderful Pepper this morning. About 4:00 am, I heard one bark out of Simmie. Got up to find Pepper in severe pain and that look on her face that told us it was time. I promised her 28 days ago, that she would never suffer and I hope she did not. She had a wonderful month of doing many things, going many places and enjoying life. Saturday, she spent the day running and playing and enjoying a warm day in the sun with Simmie, Meribel and Gemma. Our hearts are broken right now, but we know that Pepper is in a better place, where the cancer is no longer a problem and where she can chase her ball, carry her toys and just enjoy life free of pain. I am honored to have been allowed to share her life for five short, sweet, years. Thank you so much to Craig & Peggy, her breeders for allowing us to be owned by her. Rest in peace my beautiful girl - until we meet again... Simcar's Peppermint BonBon, CGC, HIC.
