Today i went on my final journey - I was with the people that love me the most.
Before I go I wanted to say thanks mum for everything you’ve ever done for me and all the adventures we’ve had.
Thanks for choosing me to be part of your life 17 years ago (I was one lucky pup). Thanks for showering me with love, taking the patience to guide, include me in every aspect of your life and understand me and my quirks to know what I’ve needed.
You always said you weren’t getting a dog for them to stay at home - you were getting one to be a part of your life. And I was!
We’ve had so many adventures together - I’ve been to pubs, restaurants, one day music events, your friends houses, bbqs, pub quizzes, on trains, buses, on car journeys, on holidays staying in b&bs, hotels, caravan, tents and friends and families houses and all the early morning starts for agility competitions because you knew I loved it (think it was my excited crying when we hit a farm track gave it away). Not to mention all the walks and places we’ve been and seen. When my legs were weakening you bought me a buggy so I could still join in, so thank you mum for even in my later months, never making me live my life within four walls.
Thanks also for introducing me to prawns crackers, rossi’s ice cream, curries, ham & cheese omelettes, raw venison (but that’s a sore point), squared sausage, and most of all steak - my favourite food and one you’ve bought me every day in my final week. Also thank you for allowing me to experience human chocolate on my last day - omg every dog needs to do that!
Because of your love and inclusion I have made so many friends both human and doggy and have had the best adventure a dog could wish for. I have felt so loved by everyone. A special thanks to everyone who has taken the time to say goodbye and wish me well on my next journey (in person or by message) - it meant the world to me and my mum.
I know I’m leaving a big springer spaniel shaped hole in your heart but please fill it with my love and our shared memories. And finally thank you for letting me cross when I was ready, although you weren’t. And as we have done for years, thank you for allowing me to fall asleep in your arms.
Love always Carra, your devil dog and angel girl. ###
