Our family lost Elsa suddenly one week ago. She was only eight years old. She was a shepherd/lab mix, and was the heartbeat of our family.
The love and joy she brought to us was immeasurable. The grief in losing her is profound. She was absolutely happy every day of her life, and she made us happy too. Such a personality. I am at a loss as to life without her.
I am grateful for the time, although far too short, that we had with her. She was truly a gift from God to us. She showed fierce loyalty, unconditional love and such a love of live.
She will be forever loved and forever missed.
