Lizzy Whiplash The Chihuahua
12/26/05 - 2/11/24

She was her own dog all the way through the very end. She had the most unexpected death (for an 18yr old, I suppose). Today, she was upbeat, engaged, mobile w/ far less stiffness than usual, she was happily vocal during feedings, she interacted with the other dogs, and she was about as free wheeling as she gets at her age.

She even scored a couple of fantastic (although unintentional) last meals.
A. Dominos Pizza & Freeze Dried Raw Nuggets, then she had...
B. Brisket w/ Freeze Dried Raw Nuggets, &...
C. A Primal Frozen Raw Marrow Bone as desert.
I only intended on a random splurge for the dogs, they occasionally get surprised w/. No last supper. No foreshadowing.

I was completely caught off guard when I woke up to find Lizzy Whiplash suspiciously asleep next to her bed. Then I realized that she wasn't asleep. I ran every evaluation I could think of, & there was no doubt that she had permanently cut The Life Switch. No reversal possible.

However, she was as serene as any dog I've witnessed during or after passing. I'm heartbroken...but I'm also appreciative that she went out on her own terms, upbeat & enjoying life, & she went in her sleep....& she lived to be 18 yrs! C'mon!!! Is there such a thing as a cheerfully grateful & a heavy & broken heart? That's the only way I can explain what I'm feeling.

Lizzy's last day was a truly lively & satisfying day, & we were all oblivious to it. The beauty of dogs is that they solely live in the moment. The past is irrelevant. The future is too abstract. The Here & Now is all that matters in a dog's psyche, & Lizzy's final Here & Now was top shelf.
Miss ya, Liz-Liz
Your Person,
Scott
