This is my dog, Shadow. We found her at the Alberta Sheltie Rescue society. She had passed through two families before finding her forever home with us.

Shadow passed from this world yesterday and I miss her so very dearly. It was time, she was 15 or 16 years old (didn’t have an exact date of birth),her vision was dim, she was almost deaf and couldn’t make it up the stairs anymore. She loved her humans to the very end, (and they loved her), I stroked her back and held her paw as the vet gave her the injection. She left the world with her family.

Shadow was a great dog, she was elegant and regal, but also a rambunctious goof at times. Her smiles were always endearing.

She was a shy dog, but could always be counted on for a cold nose *boop* when you really needed it.

She was my special girl, even when we couldn’t go for the long walks any more, we did short slow ones instead. She always tried to be in the same room with me.

Now she’s gone, and I mourn her passing. All I have left of her now are these photos and her collar. It is not even close to being enough. Thank you Shadow for being my bestest dog.


When Shadow asks me for something, I’ll often make her earn whatever it is she wants by asking her to sit or lie down or shake a paw. Apparently ‘lie down’ is my favourite, because lately she’ll come boop me with her nose and make want-noises, then immediately lie down while giving her best puppydog eyes. Note also the blurry wagging tail. (In this picture she had just booped me to remind me it was her dinner time.)
Arb gave Shadow a bath the other day, and she got all shiny and silky and pretty!

She wasn’t sure about this whole “posing for pictures” thing

She was much happier once the ordeal was over

My Morning Dog Time
That would be my damn dog looking at me quizzically while I snap yet another phone-photo of her cuteness.
