I wasn’t ready. I’ve never even contemplated life without my baby girl Princess. Of course when you get a pet, you know the inevitable. But I still wasn’t ready.

MY baby girl. The dog I adopted myself at just 15 years old. We took a trip to Fargo to rescue a different dog, but ended up bringing home Princess. The most stunning sheltie I’ve ever seen and ever will see. She was my best pal, the sassiest girl, and she really lived up to her name.

I will greatly miss our special times together… kayaking, boating, car rides, sharing cheese danishes from Starbucks, and carrying her everywhere. I will forever cherish every memory with baby p. I’m so thankful for the laughs, love, and unpredictability she always gave. Love you to eternity: Princess, pound cake, baby P, psycho suzie, baby girl, toonces, boat girl, boot baby, and the many other nicknames we’ve given her.
