She came wrapped in a sable ball of fur; Krunch's main torment and instantly became my better half...my shadow...my constant companion. The days came and went...too quickly...too quickly...and she left behind the gangliness of youth and took up the mantle that befitted her; one which reflected her heritage. She gave us the ride of a lifetime and led us to dreams that would have been unimaginable without her...but at the end of the day...when the house was quiet and everyone content in their beds...she was my dog. And I loved her like I have loved no other animal before or ever will again... This morning at 6:40, my darling Kiz beat feet for The Bridge leaving behind a body that had stood her in good stead for more than 12 years, but whose parts were worn and tired. She left blissfully wrapped in my arms with her Dad at her side and her ever present "fake baby" under her chin. One day I will again be complete...."If you get there before I do...don't wait up for me. I'll be there when my chores are through...I don't know how long I'll be, but I'm not gonna let you down...darlin wait and see... So between now and then till I see you again, I'll be loving you....love me" Until we meet again Kiz...don't worry....Mom will be home soon. Love you baby girl... mema Dawn ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
