We had to put down our beloved Alexandra (Alex) back in 2013 (she was a half Cocker Spaniel/half Border Collie mix) at the age of 16 because of advanced arthritis and the inability to use her rear legs.

Before that, Muffin, our beautiful calico cat lived 17 years, and accompanied us on several moves from Georgia to Ohio to Virginia. She stood up to any dog in the neighborhood (she was not declawed), was able to open our front door (by stretching up and pulling down on the latch with her paws - my wife blamed me for leaving the door open), and received extra treats from the firefighters at the station just up the road from our house.

We just got a new dog two weeks ago (now that we have settled in to Florida after moving from Virginia) from the Mobile Alabama Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) - she was staying at the "Arfanage" smile.

Charlotte is a Black Mouth Cur/Labrador mix with a completely different temperament and personality from Alex and we are just overjoyed to have a dog again.

My thoughts are with you Josie, as even after several years we still think of Alex often. Our pets are truly a very special part of our family.
