Dear Moo,
You have been my dog, my friend, my comforter, my trusty-side kick for more years than I like to admit – 14. I still remember the day you picked me to take care of you – all of the other puppies ran to the momma dog, while you ran to me. I think you knew we were meant to be together. You have stood by me through good times, hard times, crazy times. You helped me pick JD (well, you didn’t bite him, that was a good sign, I thought)…You laid beside me with migraines, fat bellies, and sore hips. You loved milk and ice cream. You mothered Alex for us.
I knew this day was coming, I have been trying to get myself ready for it, but I am not ready. You have lived with a heart murmur for the last few years and just in the last 6 months it became clear to us that it was soon. That day was today. I know you tried to hold on and fight. You made it through the vet appointment and once you were comfortable again, you went to sleep. I am sorry that I wasn’t there. Maybe you wanted it that way, I don’t know, but you will always be in my heart. My Moo. I won’t be able to ever forget you.
Love,
Momma
Oh honey. I’m so sorry. I know what that loss feels like and it’s hard to lose a best friend. We will most definitely be thinking of you. Big hugs from Atl.
=(
So sorry. If just reading this made me as sad as it did, I can only imagine how sad you must be right now.
*hugs*
Ours in on the same path (but not as far along) — thoughts are with you
Myers family, I am so so so very sorry to hear this- and especially to you Laurie, I know Moo was your little girl. I can’t imagine the grief you must feel- you know how I feel about Charlie, and how Kevin feels about little B. Moo was a wonderful doggie, and I’m so happy for the time we knew her. I hope it’s of some comfort to know that “all dogs go to heaven” and you’ll forever have Moo in your hearts and memories.
With love and sadness for you,
Amanda
Ohhh Laurie……I do not even know how to tell you that Camrie and I are so sorry for your loss. We have all lost a member of our family! I can still remember the day you brought me to meet your little Moo…..and the day that Moo met Camrie…..she will be terribly missed! We love you and if you need anything please call us! We miss you and the boys! We love you all and have you in our thoughts!
Thanks all. I am still very sad and shaken up. Returning to the house yesterday without her was very hard. Thankfully, the boys are a joy and even though C doesn’t totally understand, he tells me he misses her too and has been very open and giving of the hugs. I appreciate the thoughts and comments.
My dearest daughtor, I am so sorry. I am glad that you were here with family, but so saddened that you were not home with Moo. I almost think that the little Moo was waiting until you were not there, and she did have a time to say “good-bye” while she lay next to you the day before you drive down here. I know that going home had to be so difficult. I love you – and will see you all next month- Love Mom
I haven’t been to your house since you came back and I think it will be strange. No chance to stroke those ears again. Or thinking about how she liked Luke. But there is the comfort that she isn’t suffering anymore. Be glad C had the chance to meet her. I expect a good scrapbooking session to remember her when she was a big fat Moo and her belly was sooo big.
My Mischka came into my life at a similar transition point in my life. It is hard knowing I’ll never have that again…sometimes that hurts more. They were our first babies, before C & L were ever a thought. They loved us unconditionally and we thought they would always be there when we opened the door. Unfortunately, not so…
Hugs to all…
