Pheobe day – post 46

Four years ago today I had to put my beloved Beagle Pheobe down. She had invertible disk disease which basically means that the disks in her spine where breaking apart and getting lodged in her spinal column. She was in an incredible amount of pain and it was awful to watch and the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I still miss her very much. I have her ashes at home on our shelf because I couldn’t bare to have her buried and me not be able to visit her. Some day when I’m ready I’ll let her ashes go, but not just yet.

My daughter knows about Pheobe and how she’s Daddy’s special doggie. She wouldn’t remember Pheebs since she was only 5 months when Pheebs passed, but she usually says she misses her and askes where she went. We tell her that Pheobe lives up in the sky so today we wrote a letter to Pheebs and drew her a picture then got a helium balloon and tied the papers to it and let them go.

It was very special.

We miss you Pheobes.

We always will.
