From the Eddie’s Wheel’s Facebook page by Leslie Grinnell
“We had to let Sweet Pea go – she had a spinal tumor that was very swollen, putting pressure on her internal organs, causing pain and discomfort. She had started wasting, had lost interest in her food, and was asking us, with her eyes, for relief….release. She gave us 6 years – from being an abused pitbull on Animal Precinct NYC to being our pitbull ambassador on wheels at the Pet Expo – she was a great Nana dog to Willa and Webster….she was my heart. Never to be forgotten, irreplaceable, one great dog.”
I had the distinct privilege of getting to know Sweetpea for just over a year. An amazing creature – gentle, courageous, affectionate, with a huge heart and like all animals, resolutely dealing with her physical afflictions without complaint and always letting those who loved her so dearly know that she so appreciated her life with them.
Her absence creates a major gap in all our lives but her spirit and positive energy lives on forever. Peace Sweetpea.
