Will you tell me when you are ready to go?
Thank you for being the love that you are!
Thank you for the puppy dog kisses, parades and happy dog dances each time I returned home. You made me feel so loved with your pure love.
To be sure you had your issues. A show dog with an un-showy overbite; adopted by a young couple who eventually broke up and left you holed up in the bedroom of an apartment all day for hours on end. You sure had separation anxiety all your life from that.
You got kicked out of doggy daycare for taking exception with two new dogs sniffing your arse. You had a heart murmur in that sweet old heart. But you were the perfect girl for me. Your sweet face and beautiful show dog confirmation and breeding made me melt when I saw you on the rescue site.
We drove two hours up the coast to interview for you. The foster decided to keep you, but at the last minute decided that she was being unfair and chose our family as YOUR forever family.
And you loved your mama! Each night, you would cuddle up beside me and sigh a deep sigh of contentment. It made me smile each and every time.
Now you can't hear, you wobble a bit when you walk and seem a little confused. But you still greet me with a wiggly, waggly tail. Over the weekend, I thought you were ready to go. You didn't seem energetic or happy. I was sad. It's so hard to know when to let go.
For some reason, last night you got the doggy crazies and ran up and down the yard like you were a puppy again. And I watched and tried to freeze that moment in time. Because you were beautiful and happy.
Emmalisa Von Woos Woos Spaniella, your forever home is within my heart. Even when you are no longer here physically, there you will reside.
Will you let me know?
