Well, today is Sage's birthday. She would have been 5. Hard to imagine her being taken from us so young, in her prime.

Some days I miss her so bad it hurts. I still feel guilty at times...did we do enough? How could we let this happen when it was our job to take care of her? But there are so many memories and my husband and I find ourselves laughing about her antics more often now. She was a unique little girl. Amazing how much they touch us.

Hunting season is about to start and we've planned a big trip and I wish so badly that she could go with us. I hope she'll be watching!

Oh Meredith! I am sure that Sage is in a beautiful place and is hunting all that she wants! Being only 5 yrs old was too soon for you, but it was her time. I am certain that she is happy and free and with you in your hearts, minds, and in spirit.

You are a great owner and have always given your weims the very best of everything. This was in God's hands and it was meant to happen, sadly for you and your family. Never feel guilty, as it was not your fault in any way. Tragic events and accidents do occur and this was one of them. I can just imagine how much you must miss her, especially on this special day.

Rest in Peace Sage and enjoy your special day with all our loved ones who have had to depart. And, with all our love, prayers, and thoughts.

Meredith,

I can't imagine how bad it hurts. I'll light Jake's candle for her so she knows we are all thinking about her on her birthday.

Happy birthday, sweet angel, Sage...

Happy 5th Birthday Sage... She's enjoying her wonderful day up at the Bridge running, happy, hunting, all the joys of being a dog...

She'll definitely be watching you on your hunting trip.

Happy birthday in Heaven sweet Sage!

Meredith, she had a wonderful life with your family. She no doubt is watching you all the time and will on our trip...and she'll be hunting at the Bridge.

You loved her with all your heart and she will live in your heart forever.
Happy Birthday Sage your family will love you forever.

Aww....so sorry you hurt so much.

Happy Birthday beautiful Sage. May you be having tons of fun playing at the bridge.

I'm sure she'll be watching over you ..

So sorry for your loss, I'm a newcomer and didn't know; but lost a dear Dal last January.

It IS amazing how much their lives are intertwined in our hearts.
(We had to put down our 15+yr old min schnauzer Sammy in February. Just this weekend we watched a friends dog do something that Sammy used to do. We looked at each other almost ready to cry. But we do also laugh about him more often now as well.)
Your post made me tear up...

Rest in peace, Sage.
