I met the sweetest sheepie today (tear jerker)

I was in the parking lot at the pet store today when I thought I saw a sheep dog. I rolled down my window and asked her if that was a sheep dog. She said yes, and thanked me for noticing that she was a sheep dog. She had the cutest little sweater on that said Sophie. She had hair missing in alot of places it was very hard to tell that she was an oes. Unless of course your an Oes lover :lol:

Sophie had cancer and had gone through chemo. She was there to see Santa and the only thing she wanted to ask for (says her owner) is to live until Christmas. :(

I put my hand on her shoulder and told them it was very nice to meet them, but I had to go. I had started to cry. I'm still crying.. balling I should say.

What a sweet little girl.

Oh boy, that really is a hard one to hear. Good for her mama, taking her to see Santa. Everyone there were probably bawling too.

This makes me think of my father and a similar experience I had with him. Saturday was the 10th anniversary of his death, from cancer (I can't believe that it has been that long). I remember asking him what he wanted for Christmas (he was in palliative care, like he gave a toss about gifts at that time-I was an idiot for asking). He looked at me and said "To be".

I will never forget it and whenever I get caught up in the usual life craziness and the excess of the holidays I remind myself of what he said. Your sheepie story made me think of that. Time really is a wonderful gift, if we use it wisely. I am sure you gave your sweethearts an extra big hug. Now I am off to find a hankie and will give Mady and David an extra big squish when they come in from the cold.
