I wish the last picture I'd taken of Salt had been of her and Possum, but Possum was oddly not around like normal this morning. I think she knew.
She had to have known Salt was in trouble in the early hours of the morning. I got there at 6:00. She'd been sleeping peacefully at the night check. I always talked about putting a game camera on the porch so I could see what time she got up and came to the house each morning. I think she must have tried to get up around 4:30 or 5:00.
I got her back on her feet and we slowly walked out to the driveway and stood together and watched the sun rise. Neither of us had much to say. I think we all knew.

My heart is breaking for you all. I’m praying for the comforter to hold on to you tightly. ��
so sorry to hear but what a great life to remember...jude(spiritcloth)
So very sorry. Animals are family to me and I think you feel this way, too. My condolences.
Awwww Salt.....
We knew it was coming but that doesn't make it less sad.
So many good dogs gone this year. My daughter's dog a couple days ago, and a good friends dog yesterday. God must have a plan we don't know about. He needs all the good dogs for Himself.
We all love our dogs but Salt seemed extra-special. So sorry. 😭😭😭
Another hard lass for you. I'm so sorry. Knowing it's bound to happen doesn't make it easier when it does. Such big paw prints to fill. What a good long life. Good dog.
What a great protector. Sorry for your loss.
This one hits me hard. 😣 Crazy, but that sweet soul really touched my heart. Something very special about her. Loved her name! Her eyes so knowing... And that silly dance she did in the morning. That video is one of my all-time favorites! Sleep well sweetheart. Watch over Possum. K. Littrell
So very sorry to hear about Salt. It breaks my heart. Hugs.
So sorry for you and Tim. Maisie will have to be a real Guard Sheep now. Rest easy Salt;(
Oh poor Possum. My face won't stop leaking. Big hugs.
Thank gou for giving Salt such good last years. I know she was a lot of work but she needed you. Always so hard to lose them. Give Possum extra hugs. Wonder who she will buddy up with.
So glad i was able to meet this precious soul and look into those beautiful brown eyes. Truly a gift from God. She was so happy to be a part of the family. everybody take of each other. love, Debbie
So sorry to hear this. She was a special soul. So hard to lose our friends.
so so so sorry, prayers sent your way.
So sorry another beloved animal is gone. Far too many the last 18 mos. She lived a nice long life for a big dog, and the last of it at your beautiful farm. An end any of us would be lucky to have.
I’m so sorry Salt is not with you all. Tears for you, but joy for her. No more aches and pains, all senses restored. Good girl Salt, good girl.

16 is a good long life. And I'm sure you gave her some of her best years. ((Hugs))
Salt will be remembered with great love and appreciation. She had such a devotion to her farm family taking care of everyone until the end. Your sorrow is felt and shared by many.
Thank you for sharing her retirement years with us. Love her friendship with Possum, and her persistence at barooing at the forces of evil.
Good girl, Salt. That'll do.
Such a wonderful memory Salt has left for you. A loving farewell glance doing one of her favorite things in the early morning on her beloved farm.
Hugs to all the critters and especially to you.

Wishing you comfort Sara. My deepest sympathies to Everyone.
Thank you for sharing all your adventures with Salt over the years and most recently with Possum. She is definitely immortalized in all our minds. What a great pal and protector she was. Such care and love you gave her and all your animals warms our hearts. Thanks for sharing the good and sad times. Be well.
Safe Journey Salt. At 16 she exceeded the limits for her breed . So glad you shared some time with her.
Salt will always be with us, just like Hank...

)))hugs(((
What a wonderful dog she was. Thank you so much for being her Mom these last few years. I think, like you, Possum knew. Sometimes Goodbye-is just way too hard.
Love you, Sara. You are a most special person.
I am very sorry for your loss of sweet Salt. What a wonderful long life she had. It is never easy to see them go. Never. This is a wonderful photo of her. I am glad I met her. She has been given peace. And relieved of any pain and suffering. Good dog. Salt. ❤️💔
I've been dreading this post. Dear Salt. Her quiet presence will be missed. I'm so sorry Sara.
My comment never posted . . . Salt will be greatly missed! I loved this peaceful soul! I am so glad her last years were with you all on such a kind and caring farm. HUGS to you all. Salt, you are walking/running pain-free and guarding over all those up above. HUGS!
