Adios, Sweetie. . .

The other day was a long and emotional one down here at Tree Houses, as one of our longtime pooches, Sweetie, passed away.

By all guesses, Sweetie was around 17 years old. Part beagle (and who knows what else); she was the first dog that the owners rescued when they came to Costa Rica six or more years ago.

Sweetie was a gentle dog that loved to roam and sniff out anything she could find to eat, chase or play with.

A couple of days before, she started having a lot of seizures and they just weren't stopping. Lucy was up most of the night the other night with Sweetie as she kept convulsing, and then we took her to the vet. Nothing could be done, sadly.

Sweetie is young again, playing on Rainbow Bridge with Jiji.
