It seems like my life has been going a mile a min these past couple of months...
So a month ago we put our baby Spike down. :( It broke my heart..I had, had her since 5th grade... I got her from my grandma Ina that passed away in 2001.. When my grandma moved from Magna she couldn't take her to her new place in Murray, so i took her in :) I knew she was ment to be mine though from the first day my grandma got her.
The very FIRST day my grandma got her I took her out to pee, and layed down on the grass and instead of Spike peeing on the grass, well she decided to pee on my head. Ha ha. At that time it wasn't funny at all, but now that i think back to it it's hilarious. Ha ha. Ohhhh Spike...
So on October 11th we took our old girl in and had her put down, she lived a long amazing life. She was 19, bind and deaf. :( I now know that she is in a much better place, but i still feel like I killed part of my soul, i feel like i killed what i had left of my grandma.. that's such a horrible feeling. Ugh.. i'm still having a hard time with it..
I am still having flash backs of us burying her in our back yard.. I guess in time all things heal. But i know it's going to take awhile. :(
Here is a poem that my aunt sent me.
It's going to make you cry so beware....
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
