The hardest goodbye
My miniature Schnauzer Yoshi passed away suddenly last year I wanted to share some photos with the community. The first picture is the very first picture I took of him on the way home and the last picture I took the day before he passed. I was fortunate that I had the whole day with him and it was a beautiful last day. We woke up together and he followed me around while I gathered and moved some rocks at the end of the property and when I was placing them he lay by the rocks in the sun. I was treating him for Lyme disease and he was having some trouble breathing so I brought him inside in the afternoon and we watched a movie which I can't recall. I filled the bathtub with warm water and Epson salts and we lay together for his first and only bath. The whole time he stared at me and my heart was full he looked so peaceful and relaxed. That night I laid by his head so I can hear him breathing as we fell asleep. He passed early in the morning it wasn't a good experience I didn't make it easy for him when he went I was panicking. I buried Yoshi at the end of the property where I rebuilt the firepit my dad had built before he passed two years ago where I spread some of his ashes. I laid a marker stone in the shape of his paw on top. I sit there with him and my dad and I miss them both so much.
