A few pics of The Late, Great Blondie Puppeh Girl (dial-up warning)
This sweet little girl was supposed to belong to my girlfriend Carol, but she chose me instead. She was my bodyguard and my fiercest protector. She slept snuggled against my back so she could be between me and the noises of the night that came through the window. If someone walked past outside our apartment she'd jump on top of me and bark until the intruder was gone. All I had to do was say "bark bark" and she'd run to the window next to the front door and bark until I told her it was okay.
Her and Lucy Lu were best friends. They'd play and fight and chase each other all day long. After she was gone Lucy Lu was lonely for weeks. And so was I.
She may have only weighed five pounds, but her heart was as big as a mountain.
I still can't bear to talk of her death, only to say her passing caused me to have a mental collapse that I didn't fully recover from for over half a year. One day I may be able to tell the full story, but not now.
Hope you enjoy these pics of this most precious puppy.

She's an itty-bitty angel - then and now!
Adorable lil baby.
It's impossible to live six decades and NOT come up against it. Family, friends, dogs, cats- I've even been saddened as more than a few DU members have passed on. It's something keenly felt and never gotten used to. The memory fades only to come back during those lonely, sleepless nighttimes we all suffer from time to time.
Some won't believe such a small ball of fur can burrow so deeply into one's soul and refuse to disappear after their time. Believe it. Sometimes a pet steals your heart so completely you can't bear to think of him or her leaving you behind. My real problem is ALL my pets have done that to me. I remember every one, and the sadness is always just beneath the surface, waiting for the silence and the dark to come back for a visit.
For me, this is not a bad thing. For me, the bad thing would be for me to forget. And that's the one thing I never wish to do- I don't wish to forget all the love I've been freely given by them throughout my life. I believe that's the reason they're here, and that's why I'll always have one by my side.
And she always will be.
Keep her in your heart...
Beautiful little pup.
Sending hugs and a tear.
My condolences. They sure do leave a hole in the heart, don't they.
