Just finished reading Penny's pain over her loss and we all so understand.
We are there with you Penny.
It brings me to one of mine which has taken me over a month to really talk
about.
On Dec 14, 2004 I lost my Ally -- formally known as BIS Ch Trillia's Allure
CGC - Pet Hero Dog 2004 - member of the 13 Club at 14 years, 5 months old.
I have always said she was strength to me during my own tough times, but I
had no idea what a huge whole in my life she would leave. Yes, there are many
others here and I love them all dearly, but this one girl was just so
unbelievably special. She went through so many trials of strength herself,
and
overcame all. She was the epitome of devotion and loyalty and love. She was
my very best friend.
And yes, you hear those whispers, and listen for the familiar sounds which
accompanied. The sound of Ally settling on her mattress at the end of my bed
when I finally got there at night (she always waited for me), opening the
shower curtain and not seeing her laying on the rug beside, making dinner with
her laying in front of the sink so I could reach over her rather than scoot
her out of the way (NOT), listening for her to rattle her water pail (could I
have dared to forget to fill it again), and just having her to hug when my
doctor would call. She always was the one to move in when I weaned pups from
their mom, taking over with patience and the "take your lead from me"
approach. At her advanced years, she just helped raise a litter of 2 this
summer....that was just what she had to do. It was her job.
I could not have asked her to give more, she always did her best. I know I
could not have been more devoted to her either...we were a team.
The pain of the loss is still here, probably always will be.
So, I miss her with warm thoughts and great memories. My life is fuller for
my experiences with her.
I just whelped a litter 2 days ago....I so wish she could be here to help me
with them in a few weeks. Maybe instead I will be so lucky to have a
reincarnate of her spirit...another Ally. If dreams could come true....
