She looked this pretty, and yet was just a few minutes away from leaving me.

This is my last portrait of my lovely Shih Tzu Sash, who became ill yesterday and died in the afternoon quite suddenly, although not 100% unexpectedly. It was a great final day for her, with eating, a walk, playing and devoted petting time, all unplanned, and I think her last moments were very comfortable. Hug your animals today! I am busy doing that with her surviving brother, Hyphen.
