Goodbye, Carol

We lost our little black and tan Sunday night.
She was brought to us from an abusive home 13 years ago, and for the first 3+ years we had to be careful of how we moved our hands around her or she would cower in fear. She grew into a happy and rambunctious little lady, but her health was failing over the past year. She suffered a stroke Sunday night, and though we were with her as she passed, I don't think she knew we were there for her at that last. Up until her last day, she would get up at 5:00 and let me know it was breakfast time with a gentle, yet forceful couple of barks.
Carol had a rough start to life, but we were blessed to be able to provide her with a happy home, constant companionship, and we hope a life she enjoyed.
Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

What a cute doggie. She had a wonderful life with y'all.
You will see her again.
Tugs at the heart. I am so sorry for your loss Don.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
What a cutie….I'm certain she appreciated how wonderful her luck was to have gotten to live with you guys. Thank you for being amazing dog parents!
Sad to hear.
Sorry for your loss she was a cutie
And Thank you For giving her a great life
I know they realize they are loved and have been saved from a terrible life
One of our curent pound hounds Macie it took a couple years for her to realize if we reached out we were not going to hit her .sad they have to fear such things
Sorry to hear of your loss, I'm sure she appreciated the life you gave her and I am sure she will be missed.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss. They do become a member of the family and their loss hurts. Again I’m sorry for your loss.
Dang it, Don. So very sorry to hear this.
Sorry for your loss
Fine looking dog
No words will make it easier.
God Bless
Sorry to hear it, Don. You gave Carol a great life.
Getting dusty in here….

It is so very hard to say goodbye to our furry friends. Sorry for your loss Don.
She is the third pup we have lost in our 37 years together, and it seems to get harder to say goodbye each time. We are looking at fostering an older dog to keep David company going forward. There are quite a few in need from what I understand.
Thanks to all for responding. I’m a bit of an old softy and don’t talk about things like this in person as people seems to be uncomfortable when an old man tears up.

So sorry for your loss, it hurts. You are right though, David needs a companion or he'll be lost.
Very sorry for your loss.… ❤️🙏
It's so hard to lose our friends 😔

Sorry for your loss just had to say goodbye to one of our furry friend Saturday night
Dogs make life good, will certainly be with you in the afterlife, condolences from here.
Sorry for your loss. I will say, even if she couldn’t tell you, she knew you were there.
Sad about your loss. You provided her with a loving home for many years. All pets deserve a loving and caring home. You did well by her.
Don, so sorry about your Carol. Time will help heal your heart and you will meet again. ———————Ray
Sorry Don, It's tough.
Memories are golden.
Sorry for your loss.
Dogs are your best friend. Sorry for your loss.
