Still shedding some tears. I just can’t imagine that I am writing about loosing our beloved Golden Retriever just 6 weeks after posting about the loss of our 18 year old Kitty.
Blog post I wrote then:
Just two weeks after burying Tommy’s Dad. But here I am typing and crying at the same time.
Initially we thought “Bus” was grieving the loss of her lifetime companion “Kitty”. Yet in hindsight I see that she too was dying. A couple of times in the past few weeks I’ve thought “Oh No, not my dog too”! So I think in the back of my mind I knew she was going all the while attributing her decline to her own grief, her allergies and her advancing age.
By the end of last week we pretty much had no doubt. We’d hoped to wait until the end of the weekend to get her to the vet knowing we’d be hearing news we didn’t want to have to accept. By Sunday morning there was no option of waiting. We took her to the emergency care Veterinarian. They were so compassionate and so kind.
I have a lot more to share about our Sweet Bus yet I’m not ready to offer up her tribute yet. So I’ll share some favorite pictures as a sort of obituary and work on a more fitting post about her life later.
RIP Bus 2000-2011
