Yesterday afternoon my beloved snot rocket Halrea passed away unexpectedly. It had been a normal day for the most part except she threw up a bit of her breakfast as she has done many times in the past. We did our usual playing before work, going potty and then she settled in for her morning nap across from my desk as she always does. Lunch time came and all appeared well as she followed me to the couch to cuddle up for a power nap. Even after lunch she went potty ate a cookie and then settled in next to the couch as my wife had just got home and was playing with our grandson. She went potty two more times and after the second time she plopped down in one of her usual spots on one of her favorite blankets and passed peacefully. No struggles, no gasping or choking, no warning signs at all. We have been stressing our brains trying to think of what happened as she had just been to the vet for her check up and was given a clean bill of health except for two small lipomas that she had so we have no idea why she passed so sudden.
We are beyond devastated and I am especially lost as she was a partner in crime and outside of traveling from time to time Harlea was by my side all day every day that we have had her. We even had a specific routine and if it got interrupted she would make sure I knew about it. I couldn't sleep last night as I didn't hear her snoring and this morning has been tough as I am lost without that routine. I know in time it will get easier but right now it is just too much. However, I just keep telling myself that Harlea is still with us in our hearts and that she left us on her own terms.
Rest easy sweet girl. Mommy and daddy love you very much and will miss you dearly. Run free with all of your brothers, sisters and bully friends that crossed the bridge before you. Please keep Wallygator and Harveyspector company and check in on us from time to time.

Although we are truly heartbroken, all three of us were blessed!!! They went on their own, on their terms... not putting us thru all the pain of making those dreaded decisions.
