my precious ...Squiggee

Yesterday was particularly hard day.As all life changing moments, you just have to roll with it. Our sweet Boston, Miss Squiggee-Buns went to doggie heaven. We like to think that our other sweet souls , family dogs that have passed were all waiting for her arrival. It is the hardest thing in the world to watch a dog go from puppy to advancing age, what seems almost too fast, you wish they could live as long as people. She was the most independant dog we have ever had, stubborn,like myself. We were a good match, she and I.She liked everyone and especially other dogs. Over her 12 and half years she had been through many changes and always handled everything with great zeal. The breed is special unlike any other. She came into our lives with grace and no fuss and left the same way. Omar is grieving, as are we, and we will miss her everyday as we do our other dogs before her. Some people do not understand the bond with our furry family. they are family. To me it is like losing a precious child. Today is just as hard as yesterday , but time will help heal the big hole in our hearts. Yesterday was a day of tears and remembering when that little bug eyed little pup was first put in my arms and looked up at me...it was love at first sight and yesterday when I held her for the last time it was just that .....love.....
