Our Puppy Gets Ready to Leave Us

So, the worst of the worst happened. This perfect little being became ill. Her little kidneys began to fail and her sweet little heart struggled to keep up and just couldn’t handle the poisons building and on March 14th, 2020, we lost her.

We will never be the same. Life will never be the same. The world will never be the same. Maybe someday this will all make sense, but not now, not soon, maybe never.

We’re tragically sad and our home is empty and our hearts are broken. All the happiness and goodness are gone. I am crying now as I type this. I cannot stop looking for her and looking at all the things at home that belong to our Dear Sweet Bonnie Girl.

Every day I see a shadow and hope Bonnie will come out of the darkness wildly wagging her little tail again.

Her water bowl is emptying and I cannot help but to refill it, remembering to perform a happy habit perhaps for the last time.

I call out her name and hope that this little sweet pup will come to me wildly wagging her sweet little tail, but know better and weep for her not coming.

It’s getting near Spring time and I hear the birds chirping for her and cry. She is a bird dog, you know! I cannot imagine smiling on a sunny day again.

These images are from our last day together, the day before our last day with our Dear Sweet Little Bonnie Girl.
