It's very hard to write this.. we had to make the dreaded decision. Our Teddy bear was so tired. As much as we were not ready to say goodbye to our sweet girl, she let us know it was time. Please, no "heaven" or "rainbow bridge" comments. It brings me no comfort to think of her as waiting for us, watching us be sad, or move on, and not being able to get to us. To me it sounds like torture. I'd rather know she's resting and the possibility of her feeling sad or lonely, or pain.. is simply not there.
When you first came to us it was supposed to be temporary. You seemed to love it here, and we loved you too, so it became permanent. I'm so happy we got the chance to be your second loving home. Buddy had been with us from when he was a puppy, so getting you as an adult was a little different, but you were so laid back, you made it such an easy transition. I didn't know what to make of your beautiful curls at first, but they grew one me, and I loved them. The memories of watching you take care of your babies are some of the sweetest memories I'll always carry with me. You were so easy to take care of and be around, always so laid back.. unless the boys stepped on you, then you'd get cranky. You were sweet and showed love to us humans in your own way, it had to be on your terms. Somehow this made your selective snuggles even more precious. I thought we'd have more time with you, and I am so sad we didn't get that, but I am so grateful for the time we had, and so happy you came to live with us. You were so loved, and not just by us.. you helped bring happiness to a bunch of homes, and they loved you for that. You are leaving a big hole in our hearts, we already miss you so much.
