Blue 8/04 - 4/20
We said goodbye to Blue yesterday. She had two days left at a high-kill shelter in KY when we drove through the night from Chicago to save her from being gassed in a big metal box with god knows how many other dogs. It was the second time she had been left there in 6 months. Took longer to fill out the paperwork than to decide she was coming home. From the moment she hopped in the car with us, complete strangers and for 13+ yrs after that, just the most perfect dog. The unfairness of life didn't spare her. Blind by 8 yrs old and deaf for the last year and a half. Still, she never asked for a thing and we could not think of a single thing she'd ever done wrong. The most tranquil, loving and trusting dog I've ever known. Goodbye my sweet baby.
