At first glance, this photo just looks like two men petting an old dog. These two men are my brothers. On the left is Steven, the other is Greg. The dog is my old dog Annie. She, at the time, was 11 years old and was suffering from cancer. In addition, she had a blister where, if popped, would make her bleed to death. She had arthritis also, so, ultimately, she wasn't the best feeling dog. Well this was taken on October 11, 2014, the day before we put Annie down to relieve her of the pain and send her to a better place. We all did not know that this would be one of the last photos with her.
Today is September 3, 2015, nearly a year since Annie died. About three months after Annie died, we just needed a dog in the house. So in mid-January, we got a new dog named Izzy. He, too, is a Golden Retriever, but very destructive. Its worth it though. Anyways, being almost a year since Annie's death, she is well remembered and talked about. RIP Annie
Wow, thanks for sharing this powerful memory.
