From Tammie's Facebook, she's more eloquent than I would be.

My Joyful puppy Penny, died today. She had undiagnosed cancer; when we found it, it was too late to treat without putting her through more misery and confusion than she could tolerate. So I chose to let her go peacefully.
Be Free Sweet One! Dance your Joy and Delight across the sky. Never forget I love you and I will never forget either. We learned so much together. Thank you for all that you taught me and brought to me. I’m a better person for having loved you.
Hail and farewell- cross that rainbow bridge and don’t look back. What is remembered lives!


I'm feeling very ambivalent. Tammie is devastated; Penny was mostly her dog and she was Penny's human. As she said, Penny was a joyful loving dog, but she had a lot of annoying habits. She was scared of everything. If you were standing still and she ran into you, she would yelp as if you'd kicked her and you'd have to reassure her. She whined a lot, and her whine drilled right into my head like an icepick. She was losing continence; I cleaned up a lot of dog messes and puddles.

But she was also so very happy to go for walks, she'd get excited whenever I put my shoes on in the evening. She just wanted to be near her people wherever we were.
