Nutmeg

I honestly didn't want to post about this, but I don't know how else to say it. As I'm so far away, it's really hard to get in touch with everyone and I don't want to have to tell people this one by one. Yesterday, Nutmeg passed away. It breaks my heart that I wasn't at home to see her one last time. While I knew this was a possibility, I honestly thought she'd be around when I came home in May. She wasn't doing great over winter break, but she would still perk up when the situation called for it. I wish I had spent more time with her while I was home. She mainly stayed by herself, lying on her little blue pillow in the kitchen. We've had her for so long that I honestly don't know what my house feels like without her. I think the worst part is that I can't be at home with my parents, who honestly loved that dog like she was another of their daughters. I know that when I get home in 5 months, all these feelings are going to be as fresh as ever. I can't believe she's not going to be there, wagging her little cinnamon and sugar tail when I return.

I'm hoping that we gave Nutmeg the best life she could've had, and I'm taking comfort in the fact that she didn't seem to suffer much. Rest in peace, little pup.
