Emma - 2003 - 2019 Rest in Peace Sweet Girl

Now that the holidays have passed and we've had a few days to let this sink in, I am very sad to share that on December 23rd we made the terribly difficult decision to help our Divine Miss Em cross the rainbow bridge. Emma would have been seventeen on her next birthday in March. She was fortunate to have good health for the bulk of her life. It was only in the last year or so that she experienced a slow decline in her mobility due to muscle atrophy in her hind legs.

She was a bright and fun loving dog who had quite the life, sharing her days with many different species and openly loving them all. She was well traveled, visiting 14 states and spending lots of time at her favorite place - the beach.

Emma came to us when she was sixteen weeks old and we have enjoyed every moment of our time with her. Our hearts are broken and our household feels incomplete but we know that she is no longer shackled by the body that failed her. Our lives were made so much better because of her companionship and loyalty and she will be fondly remembered every day.

We miss you, my sweet girl, and love you more than you could ever know.
