I just realized that for those that were around a long time ago and perhaps are not friends on FB they might not have realized that this summer I faced one of the worst times when I had to put my Hemi girl down. She was failing and I probably held on to her longer than I should have but like anything else the ones you love the most are the hardest to let go of. She was my <3 dog and while I likely will come close to having them again, Sequoia is certainly a close second to Hemi, she will always be the bar which they will be measured by.
