Ally,
This news brings much sorrow to my heart. I knew Sammi very well. I watched over her and Doc when you and Chris were away on vacation so many years ago. Sammi was very much the puppy at heart.
Nothing could be harder than losing a loved one, be it human or animal. Being there at the last moment of life, watching the last glimmer of light fade from a loved pets eyes tears at the heart and soul. It's been nearly a year and a half since I lost Lady, but I still feel the sting, and I still see the look on her face as she slowly slipped away from me and my brother as we kept vigil in her last moments. The one consolation about being there was seeing the love in her eyes before she drifted off to her final sleep.
My heart weeps for you, Ally. I wish for you comfort in this time of loss, and pray that the warmth you felt from Sammi's life with you never fades.
