Girly, who was our one dog who would willingly share a couch with three of our cats, has lost her battle with increasing age and other ailments. We knew she was already an older dog when she joined our household and we were concerned that she would find it difficult to fit in with our cats only household. But she quickly found her way in the daily routine and became just one more four footed furry in the household. Yes, she did find it difficult to get along with Sebastian...but those interactions were limited to growling (Girly) and hissing (Sebastian).
Girly has been in a decline these past few months, even getting to the point she would only give a half-hearted woof when Sebastian would go by. With heavy hearts, we finally had to say goodbye to her on Thursday. She spent her last few hours in the outdoors, sniffing gently at the air and hearing us tell her how much we loved her.
Life goes on ... but she has taken a big piece of our hearts with her. :-(

We are so sorry. We never knoo Girly, but if that big furry woofer was willing to sleep with the kitties, she must have been an OK puppy.
So sorry that you had to say goodbye to your beautiful Girly. What a lovely dog, and so good-natured with the cats. And it's wonderful that she had such a good home with you all as she got older. Sending our best purrs and warm thoughts.

It's hardly easier when their departures are expected. When they go, it is still an awful wrench. Please accept my condolences.
