Chow Mein: 1995-2009

[Cafe_Latte]

Last night we had to say good-bye to Chow Mein, she died just before midnight.

Here in the SF bayarea, about 10pm the skys were relatively clear and not too cold.
Chow Mein knew she was dying and decided to spend her last few hours outside looking to the sky and enjoying the fresh air.
She was in good spirits and waging her tail, but seem to have a difficult time getting up.
When I went to assist her back into the house, she died in my arms. :^(

She was 14 and lived a good life. We'll miss her.
The attached pict is from last Aug/Sept just after her post summer trim while eating a chick treat.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like Chow Mein died very peacefully and on her own terms...if only people could do that. Godspeed, Chow Mein.

I am sorry about the loss of Chow Mein, she was surrounded by everything she needed: the loving arms of her owner, cool fresh air and clear skies. Chow Mein lived a good long life and I hope that you are comforted by her warm memories. Take care.

I am truly sorry of your loss.
Chow Mein chose to die in your arms because that is where she felt the most love, comfort and peace.
Please take care and run free at the bridge Chow Mein.
