Sir Thor of Gardendale

28/01/2024

My other dogs have grown and I don’t want to share Thors leash or harness with them. It hurts me.

I dreamt of Thor last night. He was rolling around under the soil (where he is buried) and he was surfacing to eat his favorite dog treat. 😢 first Christmas without Thor.

First Thanksgiving without big boy

I get sad the few times I pass by Gardendale. I think of Thor and how he’s faded into the horizon.

Thor looking for me while I do my makeup. I held the brush to his schnoz so he could smell the cosmetics. 🥰

I bet my dog son, Thor, is eating lots of food in Heaven.

My Thor memorialized in the dining area of my home. Really miss my dog companion and son. Feeling depressed without him.

Sir Thor of Gardendale - oils on canvas 24 x 30

A painting to memorialize the most special dog. Thor will never be forgotten. I don’t think I’ll ever come across another Thor dog again. He was built different. Painting is currently getting framed in Nuevo Laredo.

Thor,

“I would recognise you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.”

- “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller

I dreamt of Thor last night. He was happy, his mouth gaping open as he galloped to me. He missed me as much as I did. He tried again and again, running faster and happier each time to get in my arms. But it was like an invisible fence was between us. The picture below is the day he got humanely euthanized.

Thor use to nibble on me like corn 🌽 apparently it’s called “cobbing”. Did he ever “cob” you? https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvRvzs4rFWA/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Thor - my dog son. I love him so much. I bought a bougainvillea to plant 🪴 where he is buried. He just took over my heart the way bougainvilleas or vines take over the yard.

One thanksgiving, I got drunk on my ex-SIL’s white claws. I mean plastered, blacked out. Thor saw the opportunity and sat by me as I fed him a party size bag of Cheeto puffs that belong to her kids. 😝 Little did Thor know every time I drank he got steak scraps or whatever scraps if I went out or stayed home.

Yes. I took pizza from baseball games for him too. 😂

My baby boy Thor - “boop” the nose

Call me weird but I use to tell Thor “here’s your margarita on the rocks” and I got a free margarita sent by no one. Thor 🥹

For anyone that knows me I don’t drink margaritas just craft beer, single malt scotch, tequila, maybe mezcal.

To Thor my old friend thank you for being such a kind and peaceful companion. You watched over my mom and son with a loving heart. Thank you all for trusting Tina aka “master lady” and I with the task of taking care of Thor especially Tina aka “master lady”. Rest now. Until we meet again Thor.

Thor 11:49 am 7/27/23 I love you. Now you can breathe all the air without coughing or gasping. You can sunbathe all you want without panting. You can eat Golden Chick without vomiting. You can walk and run amongst the clouds and open sky. You were a role model for my son - to eat all his food, drink water, and listen to mom. You can play without needing to catch your breath. You were a ham and a real trooper. I love you. You’re the absolute best dog I’ve ever had in my entire 34 years of life. I hope to see you again my son, best friend, forever breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack date. I’ll always be here for you. Come and visit me sometime.

“Well, hot dog. Master lady brought me to the vet - a new vet. I guess they’re gonna check my back leg out. Thank God she brought my water bowl, it’s 107 out here.”

I’m glad this injury didn’t happen at Plains. I hope we have over 365 days with no injuries. I wouldn’t report it even if it happened on the job.
