Last week we said goodbye to our loyal friend and a constant companion our older dog Pepper. After 15 years in our family it was time for her to go to that place in the sky where all our pets go after enriching our lives with unconditional love and loyalty.
We got Pepper as puppy at a local animal shelter; she was our family’s first pet, she grew up with my kids, spending endless hours together in the back yard. She did all the puppy things, from eating my wife’s shoes to getting out of any room we tried to keep her in.
When the kids became teenagers and Pepper an adult, she preferred to hang out with my wife and I, taking long walks in our neighborhood and relaxing by our side.
Five years ago when we brought another puppy into our house and turned her world up side down she didn’t complain; she took on the role of older sister with grace, letting the new comer get most of the attention.
Pepper was the perfect dog, she got along with everyone, humans and dogs, she was a pleasure to have around and a blessing to our family and we will never forget her.
