What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful companion, Tony. Thank you for sharing with us, and for the privilege of sharing something of the last months of Pearl's time here. I will also remember that photo of her heading off along the trail in the woods, nose down, intent, so happy. You gave her the best life a dog could have, and she gave as much back. Much sympathy. {{{hugs}}}

Tony, I'm so sorry to hear this - but she knows how loved she was. Bean is waiting to welcome her to the great DogPark. Warmest thoughts to you.

That was a beautiful post Tony.
When I saw the thread title I said out loud, "Oh no, she's died." I didn't expect to read something so moving. Thank you. And very sorry for your loss.

I'm late with my condolences (I did paste on FB) but wanted to tell you, tony, that that was a beautiful tribute you wrote.
You did Pearl proud. I'm so so sorry. I have a terrier and she's the most significant relationship in my life and has been for the past five years. My heart goes out to you once again.

Pearl, I wish you endless frisbees and table scraps in your doggy heaven.
UT, I wish you heart-healing and peace. You've had a hard road lately. I hope next year brings better things for you.
