This is a post I never wanted to make...

We got home a little while ago from Anime Expo... Spice, our Cairn Terrier was missing...

As I searched the neighborhood, one of my neighbors asked if I was looking for a little dog. I said she was a light gray, a terrier...

He told me there was a dog like that dead at the corner of Raymond and Torrance...

Poor doggie... She never knew what hit her and we'll never know why she decided to get out... Donna's posting a picture that I'm going to link to here below...

I'm sorry, Spice. I wish you were still here. I love you...

Good bye. (Take good care of her, Cliff, where ever you are.)








Spice (1992-2006) R.I.P.

*HUGS*

I'm sorry to hear that.

She may have been, as Donna often said, a pushy broad, but she knew she was loved, I'm thinking.

If you need anything, let me know.

Both of you know how to get in touch with me.

*HUGS*

It's sad to lose a pet, because they are so much more than that. She was loved, she knew it, I really feel for your loss. You and Donna are both true animal lovers.

She was a very sweet little dog, and Gerhardt just loved her to pieces.

I am so sorry. What a shock. She lived a happy 14 years with you. Ive never had a dog live that long. You were fortunate,she shared her life and love with you.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Spice.

My dog did something similar in 2003, getting hit by oncoming traffic in the middle of the day. No one knew she was missing until the Spca called. It was so fast.

This may not be comforting, but she was also at the end of her life. I've heard that dogs make an effort at the end of their lives to journey back to where they were born, as a final bit. Perhaps that's what Spice was doing, when she got hit. I read Donna's journal, and she mentioned that Spice was sticking very close to you both, or clamboring to get out. These, unfortunately, are the same signs our dog Katie exhibited right before the end. We think it was her way of saying goodbye. She obviously loved you very much.

I hope you and Donna are okay. RIP, Spice.

*sighs softly* Well damn.

My dears, words fail. Spice was a class act. I mean a real prize. And as I play the memories, as few yet vivid as they are, I think I can say with some qualification and standing.

Spice'll be missed. She'll be the first non-human I light a candle for.

She was a precious dog, I remember when I first came out to visit you guys in Cali, and got locked out, I got to spend an entire day with Spice, she was so demanding for attention... she was loveable, my thoughts are with her today. I am sorry. Love to you all.

RIP Spice

Major suckage :-(

My condolences, man. I know how you feel. My first dog was about the same size, the same age and, sadly, went the same way.

Try reading James Herriot's Dog Stories. As a vet, he's helped many pet keepers deal with the loss of their companions and you may find something inside to help you through this time.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that! Poor Spice. :(
