Goodbye, Baby Girl

[prosodic]

I hope you can now run and play over that Rainbow Bridge.

I hope you are whole again.

I hope you have found peace.

I will love you and miss you always.

ETA (1:00 am): Mom said it was very peaceful and she was gone in about 10 seconds. She was ready to go.

I'm so sorry. I wasn't checking LJ all weekend - just kind of went awol for awhile - and though I knew this was coming, I didn't know for sure it had happened until just now. I've been through this a couple of times with the dogs I grew up with, and then two cats that I loved, too, and it just hurts. A lot.

I know it's cliched advice to tell someone who has lost a pet to get a new one soon, but I hope your parents do if they have the time for one. It really *does* help. The new pet never replaces the old one, but there's just something healing in those new, soulful, puppy-dog eyes. I wish you and Lance could get one, too.

I'm glad the end was peaceful for Taffy and I know she knew she was loved. That's the best thing we can give them, and all they really are asking from us - people to love and who will love them back. Taffy had that in abundance. *hugs*

My mom is talking about getting a cat. But they still have another dog in the house - Buck is a whippet - and I think he'll be hurting too, to some extent. But I think he will also provide comfort to them.

I wish Lance and I could get a dog too...alas, we have to wait until we move back to the States.
