There is nothing like the privilege of caring for so many beautiful fur babies.
I have the joy of watching their milestones, cheer them on when they need extra support and just be there as and when they need me. Relationships not only with them but their families blossom too and I have been lucky to watch many littles grow.

When there is hardship being faced in the family or one of their family members passes away, though they may not be blood related to me, I feel it too.

When a family member (human or floof) passes away, I’m not usually present but there are times when I am able to pay my respects.

This past weekend, surrounded by her loved ones I was able to say my goodbyes to my beautiful girl Allison the Sight Hound. She was completely in her element of joy being in a room of all her people and her doggy friends. I sang it to her quietly as I thanked her for the gentleness, trust, and joy she shared with all of us.

Allison and her dad came into my life at the height of the pandemic. Allison was a newly retired former racing greyhound and was rescued by her amazing dad, Rufino. Rufino may as well be called Dr. Doolittle as his love and nurturing for any animal he meets are as plain as the blue sky.

Allison took my breath away from the moment I met her. She walked with grace no royal could match and her big brown eyes rendered me to mush.

Allison had big feelings but they were so contained it manifested outwardly in other ways. She was not used to kindness and comfort or gentle touch. We had to build trust so that I could eventually handle her feet to do her mani-pedis. Allison used to be muzzled for her nails as a precaution only. Not because I was concerned she would bite me. We just weren’t sure how she would feel but it wasn’t long before that muzzle came off and she willingly gave me her paw. The greatest gift she could have given me. Every step of the way, Allison not only had an amazing entourage of a support system but she also had her dad.

To be booped by Allison’s long nose, leaned into for cuddles and watch her stretch her beautiful long legs for her photo was a site of itself. That girl knew how to work the room, the camera and anyone in it in her favour.

As time went on, Allison welcomed her sister Cleo, a Saluki and she alongside her dad, showed Cleo it was okay to dog. It was safe to be touched, it is okay to have fun. Allison accompanied Cleo on her nail visits from time to time to show her how it was done and make sure she knew that treats from Tia Paloma were safe to eat (and there would be plenty of).

Allison opened doors to love for many creatures (people included) that she would meet. She had this inner power of bringing a being outside of themselves and could erase — even for a few minutes — any storm clouds from them.

On Monday November 10th in the loving arms of her dad, Allison strutted across the rainbow bridge in her true fashion.

Allison was and always will have been a real earth angel.

There is a definite hole in her family’s heart as well as mine.

She knew our hearts would be hurting, and she made sure to give us one last bit of her sparkle. Allison was so bright that when she passed, even the sky honoured her with the Northern Lights.

"Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you."

We’ll love you forever
We’ll like you for always
As long as we’re living, our Allison you’ll be.

Te quiero tanto Allison. Nunca te voy a olvidar.
🕊️🌈❤️

Not only have I incurred Luna’s Goldendoodle wrath by bathing, drying and setting her hair…but I’ve brought dishonour and further disappointment when I clarified she was not having bo***ir photos taken.
