It's been a little over a week since we said goodbye to our sweet Alfie. Definitely one of the hardest moments of my life, he was in my arms for his last breath and he will stay with me forever.
I began looking to adopt a dog in 2009 once I was settled on my own in my condo. I visited the shelters monthly, and checked their websites for updates nearly every day, until one afternoon in Spring 2010. I knew the moment we met that Alfie was meant to play a special role in my life.
I would say that adopting Alfie set off a chain reaction of love and happiness in my life. Nearly 12 years later and I don't remember life before him. I could never prepare for losing him, but I know he will live on in my heart. Alfie was a gift, an angel sent to me to show me just how good life can be.
