Today we lost our 7 year old dog, Suklaa after a nearly year long battle with cancer. When she was diagnosed, they estimated she would live about two more months. She beat long odds and made it to today.
She was a brown flat-coated retriever. Her name is the Finnish word for chocolate. She was very affectionate, headstrong, athletic and mischievous.
We have had time to face this reality, but it hurt terribly to say goodbye.
Some moments from her too short life...
Riding home with us for the first time:
As a puppy with her cat:
As a "teenager," with Willow, our other dog at the time:
Walking on (frozen) water:
Probably my favorite picture of her:
A couple of weeks before the end. You want ice cream? You got it, sister:
I'll miss you, baby.
