We cried when we first saw her. The light in her eyes was truly stolen by the sadness in her heart, and we tried our best to restore the light.
No matter how many times we take in a hospice case like this our hearts shatter. We know this is the right thing to do; no dog deserves to be treated like trash by the family they gave all their love and loyalty to for over 14 years. We have said it many times before, and we will say it again, Honey’s life mattered! We could not stand by and allow her to die alone in a shelter.
We kept our promise to Honey; loved her, spoiled her, and kept her comfortable during her time here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary. Then yesterday evening, she left this earth on her own terms knowing kindness, compassion, love and dignity.
All she wanted was to be loved and we did just that! She loved cuddling up to her teddy bear when she slept, and quickly became a human shadow here at the Sanctuary, following her Sanctuary mom from room to room. She even made fast friends with some of the other senior residents.
Even in her final hours with us, Honey wanted nothing more than to be near her human. When she was ready she went to lay down in her favorite bed next to her teddy, closed her eyes and went to sleep for the last time.
Although her time with us was very short, Honey was a beautiful soul who left paw prints on the hearts of everyone who met her — human and dog alike.
You will always live on in our hearts Honey you were taken way too soon – we truly wish our love and care could have healed you and given you more time like you deserved. We were blessed to have known you!
Thank you to each and every one of you for kindness, prayers and donations toward Honey’s supportive care. We truly could not do any of this without you.
