Our angel dog, Charlie

Charlie, our family dog of six plus years (he was eight), passed away yesterday afternoon.

The vet found cancer before cutting deeper for a full surgery, after we dropped him off the second time in two weeks. She advised to put him down. It was unexpected.

My husband & I were able to see Charlie, our first "child" together, somewhat lucid before he passed, & we said goodbye.

It was heartbreaking to let him go; a new brand of heartache I haven't experienced in my 36 years since Charlie is, I mean was, my first dog.

I ache at the loss of our constant & loyal companion. It's amazing how much you think about your dog throughout a regular day.

I'm glad we were able to see his last breath, his soul escape. Almost wasn't able to due to a work trip. Ended up rescheduling my flight literally at the last minute with major help from a wonderful co-worker.

Hard to let go of such a loving dog, especially with having two under age five.

Here's a pic from this summer of Charlie with our youngest.

It's sad she won't remember him; at least we have this memory captured to show her (and her sister) she has an angel dog named Charlie.




We love you, Charlie!!

Doing yoga with my five year old

Attempted yoga with my kindergarten girl today after not trying for a while.

We did about 15 minutes, off and on, and it was kind of fun too.

Guess we're ready to do this more!

Persevere


Persevere.

Read this blurb earlier today in the book, Don't Worry, Make Money. Right now during my day job, I'm working on a high profile, big project that is showing the best & worst of people, including myself. It's easy to feel like quitting, but we've come so far.

Perseverance Mantra:
Please give me the wisdom & strength to persevere. To take deep breaths and keep running the race.
