RIP Edward - Eddie- Ed - Eduardo
How do you describe the loss of a dog?
I came down this morning in the daily quest to make coffee, to find that poor old Eddie had passed. Dora told me something was wrong. It took me a few seconds to realise what had happened. Eddie, Ed, Eduardó, or Edward, if he was naughty, which he wasn’t, apart from his daily plotting towards climbing onto a bed or couch which was out of bounds.
And now I am dealing with Dora. Who is left behind. Never a love interest, just best mate. Not that being a best mate is a “just”. A best mate is everything.
Dora was with Eddie when he passed. She has known him her entire life, since she was a pup. Unfortunately, she is smart enough to know what happened to him. I don’t have experience with dogs dealing with grief.
But I know she is grieving. She feels all this.
So, when I post this, I am not posting a picture of Eddie, the bestest boy I ever knew, RIP, but a picture of his life-long friend Dora. Who misses him. As we all do. He was a true sweetheart of a guy. My sweet, sweet boy ♥️
Fu***ng dogs 😭💔
