It's kind of hard to pick the hardest experience in ones life because so many things are hard in different ways and for different reasons. We've all lost people in our lives and I've lived through an ugly divorce as a child.
While this isn't actually the hardest, it's the most relative to me at this moment.
I was going to make a separate post about this but once I saw this week's topic I figured I didn't need two sad posts in one day.. or week.. or even month.
We had to make the decision to give up Lady Bird yesterday.
Typing those words hurts my heart and brings tears to my eyes.
It's something I've known we'd have to do eventually for a long time but have refused to believe it.
Her & Ollie have just never seen eye to eye. Bird just doesn't understand that Ollie is Alpha.
I know that she's just an animal to most people. If you know me well, you know there's no such thing to me as "just an animal". My love for that silly dog is overwhelming. She has held a very special place in my heart.
Bert, I hope that you're in a perfect home. I hope that your new family lets you get the dragons out of their house and they cover your eyes when you have a spasm to calm you. I hope they learn how smart you are in your own way and that they kiss you on the cheeks all of the time. I hope they let you cuddle them all the time because you just need someone to love you. I hope that you're not scared and that you're making friends. Most of all, I hope that you know that I love you forever. Forever.

Now I'm crying. I'm so sorry you had to make that tough decision. Pets really become a part of our family and I know you will miss each other. What a great post of pics to look back on.
ReplyDeleteWe all will miss Bird and no one more than you. In the end, it's best for everyone...but I understand that it's extremely painful. I felt that pain with Becky. :-( it gets better sissy. And she will always remember you and your love. Trust me.
