goodbye, sweetie

 


kim: peanut and i have had a wonderful life together. we moved to saint paul and eventually chicago, where she spent her final years. she also gained a stepmom along the way, affectionately referred to as her second favorite person in the world.

road trips, lazing on the couch, sneaking naps on the human bed, digging a foxhole to lie in on a hot day, lying in the sun on a cool day, playing with dog friends, hiking, playing ball and frisbee and sticks, sleeping in ridiculous positions, asking if it's time for dinn'r yet, being my office dog, so many walks and skritches and love.

the above photo is peanut on her 15th birthday.

on may 22, 2023, after some months of living with cancer, we did an in-home euthanasia, with peanut fittingly wrapped up in her super-cool unicorn blanket.

peanut, p-nutty goodness, peanut buster parfait, sweetie...thank you for being my dog. i love you. i'll see you on the other side.
