My beautiful Shetland Sheepdog, Sunset on Skye, was a part of my life for over 10 years. Raised from a puppy, he was my beloved, constant companion. I lived on a 10 acre property where I worked as well as lived. Skye never left the property in all the years we were together. The other staff would know which building I was in because Skye was patiently waiting for me at the entrance. One day I was walking to my dwelling where I lived and I made eye contact with my friend. I knew instantly when looking in his eyes he was going to be leaving me. I thanked him for his friendship, protection and love and hugged him for the last time. It was a profound moment for me as I had the opportunity to say good-bye to my faithful friend. A day or two later he was hit by a car on a road he had never wandered into in his life. I think he knew he was leaving me too. He was buried with his collar, tags, lease and a huge bouquet of flowers. I wept like a child. I still express my gratitude to God for letting me have Skye in my life. Skye was the greatest dog in the world.
