One of our senior girls, Marta , died in her sleep yesterday. Marta was a foster at our directors, as with all rescue it's hard to get the older dogs adopted. She hadn't been sick, just arthritis and old age. She was kind of a grumpy girl at times, but this year she seemed to really like people petting her. It's been so hot that our director had let her hang in the house all afternoons, just relaxing and enjoying the cool. I'm glad she got these last few months of personal attention, I just wish we could have found a place for her permanently. I'm glad she didn't suffer, or have any long illness.
We will remember you with fondness, sweet girl....have a wonderful time at the Rainbow Bridge..........
May you be at peace, Miss Marta.

Thanks Denise....
DeleteI had her for 3 1/2 years. We thought she was 6-9 yrs old when she came in so no telling how old she really was. I always have a soft spot for the older ones that no one wants.!! Pat
ReplyDeleteI will miss seeing her little face. I wish she could have talked and told us what her previous life was like that made her so shy around most humans. I bet she had some stories. She was such a loner and it was hard not to want to sweep her up in your arms and say "not all humans are mean"..but she let very few people touch her. I am glad she lived her life out in Husky Haven's hands. Enjoy the Rainbow Bridge Marta!

We are glad Martas' last months were good ones. Bless her and we hope she runs free and fast over the rainbow bridge. Have a tremendous Thursday.

Thank you RA....
DeleteOhhh I will miss seeing her, and I, too, am glad she could be a house dog at the last and that she did not suffer. I am sure she always felt appreciated and loved by everyone. Beth called her Martini! Barbara
ReplyDeleteI used to sing her a song called "Martini Time"....
