Happy Birthday Squirt!
Thank you everyone. You're always here, always caring.
Yesterday was tough, more emotional that usual tho I still cry every day for her. It was a bit of a roller coaster - joy in memories one minute, devastated the next. Poor Trink and Brick were constantly being swept up and held while tears dripped on them. For breakfast, I fried an egg and divided it between us all and we had a bite together in honor of our sweet girl's birthday.
It snowed here yesterday and snow was something Squirt dearly loved. We got almost 3", enough that she would have plowed the yard with her face had she been here, grinning from ear to ear, wiggling that butt in her enjoyment. She would have come in with snowballs hanging all over her and she would have been wearing them with pride, as if she created the snow just so she could make balls on her body. No one else here cares for the snow, or cold, at all - it was always she and I who shared that joy. It snowed just about all day long and tho it caused sorrow for what could no longer be it also brought her a bit closer knowing she loved snow so. On the news last night they were showing snow pics from around the area and someone sent a pic of a young pup with snow all over its face and chest who looked a great deal like Squirt did as a puppy. I knew exactly what that baby's parents felt as they watched it frolicking in the snow.
I still don't know who I am without her and sometimes I think too much of me left with her. About the time I think things are back together, I realize not only are they not, pieces are completely missing and I have no idea where to find them.
Big (((hugs))) Leslie!!!!
Leslie, I thought of you yesterday when I saw the coverage of the Arkansas snow. I thought it looked so beautiful, and I was jealous because we ended up with only a dusting over here. At the time, I did not realize how much Squirty would have enjoyed romping in it. But knowing that now, I realize how bittersweet that snowfall must feel to you. It is so hard to wrap our minds and our hearts around these changes that alter our lives so profoundly. I wish I could offer some words of advice, but I am struggling, too. My heart is with you this morning as you look out upon Squirt's snow.
Hi. I sat last night and read about your journey w/ Squirt. Took me awhile- but I must tell you, it was like reading a novel- full of love. I wanted to thank you because the information is invaluable to me as we start our CD journey w/ our Blue. I have had dogs all my life, G shepherds as a child- collies,poodles,husky/shepherd mix, and for over 20 yrs. I bred,raised and showed shelties. Now we have AB's, my hubby's fav that he waited for all these 30 yrs. reading your posts brought back so many memories- happy,sad, crazed and ecstatic. Ironically, despite having over 30 dogs - CD is the one issue we never came up against. So, thank you again. Happy thoughts, Joan
That is a wonderful picture you paint of Squirt in the snow, nose down, butt wiggling. I can picture it in my mind and close my eyes and see her .
big hugs
Oh I am so very sorry. :( Rest in Peace Squirt
