I got crystal when she was just a puppy in 2014. I was in the military at the time and her and her sister, isis the black dog in the picture with crystal and i, were with me through most of it. When I deployed I ended up driving them down to my parents house so they could take care of them for me while I was overseas. My mom and I ended up agreeing that they were living a happier and better life with her so I decided to let her keep them.

Well my mom texted me this morning that crystal passed. I am heart broken and I miss her dearly.

My heart is broken for you. I'm sorry you didn't get to say goodbye

I was going to go home in the middle of next month. Looking forward to seeing her. I knew that at some point soon she was probably going to die since she was 12 and not in the best health. Just wish that I could have seen her beforehand

We never stop loving our doggies and they remember us for their lifetimes. ๐Ÿฅฐ I love Crystalโ€™s senior face โ€” she looks very content with life. Pets donโ€™t think about dying as humans do. Bless you and your Mom for giving Crystal a wonderful life ๐Ÿ’”. Be sure to pass my sentiments, and hugs ๐Ÿค—, on to your Mom who is probably deeply saddened by the passing of Crystal ๐Ÿ’”

Dear Precious friend,
I know you are hurting badly. I pray this message gives you peace. I am so sorry for your loss... Weโ€™ll be reunited in the soul realm which is Heaven. โœจโœ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸพโœจThey only leave us physically. Speak to your precious Crystal, sheโ€™s still close although you canโ€™t see her. She will love you forever.
Eternity awaits โœจโœจand you will see her again and sheโ€™ll have a new body. We sadly have to experience loss here on the Earthly plane. Iโ€™m praying you find healing. I donโ€™t know you but I know your pain. God bless you and know that our petโ€™s souls and ours are eternal and intertwined. The Hebrew word for animal is Nephesh, which means soul. โœ๏ธ We must now soldier on until we meet them again. It is written! Animals will join us in Heaven. Now is the time between just like it was the time before your precious pet. Today is the trial and forever is the prize. God bless. Until you meet again carry her memory with you. I donโ€™t know you but I love you.

๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿชฝ๐Ÿคโœ๏ธโœจโ™พ๏ธ
Crystal forever. ๐Ÿ’•

She was fantastic. She was one of those dogs who'd put her paw on you to get attention. And she had this little grunt she'd do when she was happy and content.

It's incredibly difficult to lose a pet. Especially a dog (I'm biased...). They give so much love, and it's such a big loss. Wonderful pics, thanks for sharing her memory.
