Our family lost a very dear friend last night. After 7 short years, our sweet Piper contracted Hemangiosarcoma, which is a cancer that remains undetected until it is too late. It was only 2 days from the first noticeable symptoms. Piper was very gentle, and loved by our entire family.
It is very hard to describe the bond that is created between a loyal hunting dog and it's owner. Piper and I have climbed many mountains together, crossed many rivers, and froze together in fields of grain. When we hunted, she was constantly wanting to know where I was. At home, her gaze was always on the back door, waiting for me to appear. No matter my mood, I was always greeted with her affection. Yes, she was an animal. My heart just doesn't know the difference right now. I have been a mess all day.
