Putting My Irish Wolfhound Down

Today, I had to put my sweet Irish Wolfhound down. She was a sweet, sweet puppy. She was 10. She lived a good life.

What I’ll Miss About My Irish Wolfhound

  • Her sweet temperment
  • Her attachment to me. How she cried every time I left home and ran at me when I got home
  • Her sweet bark
  • Her majesty and beauty
  • Our walks
  • Her desire to chase bunnies but didn’t because she was so well trained
  • Her dreadlocks
  • Her small ears
  • Her undying love and devotion to me
  • How she laid in her grass
  • How she loved and protected her chickens
  • How I had to scratch her chin every night before bed
  • How people called her a Shetland pony
  • Her beard
  • How she leaned into you when you petted her
  • How she loved Dutch Bros
  • How she loved peanut butter
  • How she’d smash her bones on the concrete, so she could get to the interior, good marrow (she was incredibly smart)
  • How she’d raise her paw when she was laying down in a submissive posture, so you could pet her belly
  • How she ate snow for her water intake
  • How she stood for 24 hours when she had a cone on because she was afraid to lay down
  • How she wouldn’t eat when I’d go on vacation

Too much death in my life right now. I love you and miss you, Jewel! I’ll see you soon!
