Goodbye my darling...
Today was the last day I saw my beautiful girl, my beautiful darling dog Emmy.
Emmy was my family dog. We got her in 1994 when I was 9 years old. For the past 13 years, she has enriched and brought so much meaning to all of our lives. She has truely made our house a home. That's more than 1/2 of my life!
She had the most beautiful spirit. She gave me hope that there are things, living things in the world that live for love, with loyalty, and for most purest of intentions.
There is no better feeling than arrving home and receiving such a warm excited welcome from my darling girl, or days where we would just hold and cuddle her. Or times we would play around the house as she always outsmarted us. She was more than a dog, she was one of the family. I mean, she knew us.
It always amazed me how she and the family could always communicate somehow. We knew what she wanted most times, and she knew what we meant when we said different words. She was such a good little girl. A shining light when many days were dull. A warm spirit when comfort was needed.
Last night, we took her to the vet after she had stopped eating for 48 hours. i didn't know as I was away all weekend. It confirmed our dread - cancer. She went in for an operation this morning, but the vet found another one. It was simply too cruel to wake her up. So, with my family crowding around the vet's table, we saw our darling girl stop. Silence. The pain over.
We brought her home and buried her in the backyard with her collar and her blanket. Just outside my window, there she is. Always with us, always with our family. It was so sad to see the life completely stripped out of her.
This post may seem silly to some. I guess, for those of you that are really attached to their pets, you'll understand. She was such a great friend, a great family member and the house will feel so empty without her. it will be so weird, and a little colder.
So here's to you my darling girl. i will miss you incredibly. Thank you for bringing me so much happiness, so much joy, so much love and loyalty. You have been such a gift, such a blessing to my life, our whole family. Remember how much we loved and still love you.
You'll always be in my heart!!
Goodbye my darling.
I will love you always.
