Goodbye Candikins...


Well, it's official now...As of last evening, Candy Alexander has passed on. She lived a great life, and she was a beautiful, well-natured, and very special companion for the whole Alexander family. It's sad that she isn't with us anymore, but she lived a long time with us and came a long way. From being a small puppy rescued from the Drake Animal Hospital to being a slighty prima donna-esque old lady, she brought so much love to our family. I will truly miss her.

Today I feel very much more at peace about her passing on. I talked to Mum on the phone, and she said that Candy passed away very peacefully, to the point that you couldn't even tell when her heart stopped beating. Mum tucked her away in her little blue blanket so that just her nose and eyes showed, the way she liked to sleep, and both her and Dad said their last goodbyes.

So, goodbye Candida, the cutest mutt I ever had the pleasure of calling my own. Goodbye, we all love you. We all miss you.
