Skeeter came into my life October 27, 2015 through New Rattitude and left my life in October 15, 2019 shortly after her 14th birthday. Because of her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, I knew our time was going to be short and I was thankful and appreciative for each and every day. I feel like she fought for me to be here for as long as she could. She knew how badly I wanted her to stay and be here. I was actually just holding her, petting her and talking to her about just normal things when I felt her just leave this earth. I take comfort in that I was able to be there for her in those final moments.
I will miss my little desk buddy. The thought of working at the desk without her to the left of me feels unbearable. She came into my life during a period of big transitions - and she helped me through it being there and being her little sassy self. We will miss her and her little nub of a tail that wagged constantly. Her kisses and how amped she would get when Cassie would just let her lick her face and hands or feisty she became when you would play with her and get her mad. Her chasing and barking at any red light and windshield wipers. Her overreaction to things sometimes. Her love of pupcups. Her barking at dogs and babies but how she tolerated all my foster dogs (and the Coltrane cats) even allowing them to snuggle with her and playing with a select few. Her snuggles at night and all her naps right by my side. The list is too long.
She was my velcro dog and I loved her so very much.

Rest in Peace little Skeeter - we will never forget you and will always love you.
