Our poor girl had a large mass on her back hips that has been growing for over a year. We assume it was some type of cancer. Once we began noticing her losing balance and showing signs of some pain we knew it was time. We didn't want her to be in a pain nor did we want to let it go on and on to the point where she was very sick. Instead, we spent a wonderful Saturday doing all of Kiara's favorite things, taking pictures, and celebrating the incredible 10 years we've had with her.
Michael took Kiara for a drive. They picked up a bone for her then parked to watch cows. Then the kids spent time playing in the yard with her. She was feeling pretty well that day and went down to the creek to swim. Kiara LOVED swimming, and I'm glad she could enjoy it that day.
That night we had a fire, another thing Kiara has always enjoyed. It was a hard day for the girls and there were many tears shed. But we're so thankful we could take the day to celebrate her!
We chose a beautiful spot in our yard right by the creek for her grave. It is perfect given how much she loves water! The kids all picked out rocks from the creek to paint as decoration for her grave. We also planted some wild flower seeds.
Kiara was a wonderful dog who lived a wonderful life. She was so loyal to our family and we will always remember her with love. We love you Farmmutt!
