Sweet Pea was a sweetie. She tried to please me every chance she got. When I wanted to take a nap, she would too. When I was on the couch she would jump up on the couch for some cuddling. Sweet Pea would only bark at her boyfriends (she had two) and played (or tried to play) with them. Sweet Pea loved to play with squeaky toys, would fetch them when I threw them, but only bring them half way back. She loved to take walks and would stop to smell other dogs markings along the way. On Saturday night, after the walk, she started to eat dinner and her rear legs gave out. Her rear legs were getting weaker the past year or so. Her age was catching up to her (bad cataracts, mostly deaf, and this problem). She appeared to have given up; like she was telling me it was time. She appeared not to be in any pain, so was I able to spend some extra time comforting her. Sadly, on Monday (September 20, 2021) morning I had to let her go, Sweet Pea is now at the Rainbow Bridge. Sweet Pea will be greatly missed; she was such a good sweet girl.
