This is my best OLD Girlfriend, Abby. She is getting really old and has limited my traveling. Love her so much and don't know how much longer she can keep going, just for me. She is the most faithful of all companions
Four months later and I still miss her so deeply. I don't want to ever forget her loyalty and faithfulness. Buddy has become more of a companion than before. I guess he was just waiting for it to be his turn. Abby would be pleased to know she trained him well
My lovable best friend, Abby, went to be in doggie heaven today...it was getting so hard for her to get up and down, and some days she couldn't even go outside by herself..so I let her go to sleep....Oh God, how it hurts..words cannot describe this pain.....she was my best friend..it will be so lonely without her...Buddy is fun and I love him, but Abby & I have been through so much together...I loved her more than anyone could know....I feel like I lost part of me and it went with her...I was so blessed to have had her for so long. The vet said Abby was ready, however, I was not
I know what you mean...each day when I get up, the first thing I do is check and make sure Abby is still with me. Sometimes, on purpose I think, she fakes it and sleeps so deeply that it freaks me out. She, too, has lumps on her body, but she keeps on going and loving me. I am grateful for the time I have had her and don't resent being home with her. When the day comes that she is in pain, I will let her go, but I don't know how I will handle it. Thanks for comments. And, God bless your Raven. Bobbie
Reminds me of my little old girl, Raven. I have a picture of her sitting on our deck, looking very much like Abby! They are delightful when they get old, aren't they? Raven has lymphoma so probably not much time left but I cherish each and every day.
