Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support during the last week. Ursa was more than a dog. She was a best friend, confidante, teddy bear, security blanket, and more than anything, she was family. Even though cancer was wasting away her body and her liver was failing, she never complained. Even though she was miserable, she could still manage a tail wag and a kiss. The decision to have her put to sleep was heartbreaking for us, but it was the only fair thing to do for a dog that had given us so much. I don't think that even now it has sunk in that she is gone. She spent 9 of her 12 years with us. I sure hope she's in a better place. I'm picturing her running through a field chasing bunnies. I'm going to miss her so dang much.
BTW, Marcus made a cool tribute picture for Ursa on his site. Check it out here.
