Penny was one of 15 Dachshunds rescued by the Victoria BC SPCA.
EDITOR'S LETTER
Penny chose me – there was an immediate bond.
H
ow do you say goodbye to the perfect dog? One whose spirit embodies pure goodness, love, and gentleness. A dog who, to the root of her being, wants only to be with you, and whose boundless joy at seeing you come through the door—no matter how short your separation— affirms time and again just how much you’re loved. Just this month I had to say goodbye to such a dog. My beautiful best friend Penny, an adorable Wirehaired Dachshund I adopted from the BC SPCA nearly ten years ago to the day, succumbed to a heart condition. Now I’m trying to find a way to cope with the terrible sense of loss she’s left behind; a heaviness, an ache, an emptiness that pervades all aspects of my life. I know time will soften the sharp edges of my grief but in the meantime, I draw comfort from you, my dog loving family, for only other dog people can fully understand the terrible sense of loss that follows the passing of a cherished dog. I dedicate this issue of Modern Dog not only to Penny, but also to you, your dogs, and the dogs we’ve had to say goodbye to. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community. I hope that you enjoy the winter issue. It was a labour of love, designed to help you make the most of all the moments you share with your dogs. Wishing you and yours a joyus winter season. Much Love,
Connie Wilson, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief
