We lost our beloved Cookie

She had been in decline for a few months, and she crossed Rainbow Bridge within the last hour. A blessing, I guess, but it doesn't feel that way.

She was a good girl. She gave us much joy.

Al held her as she crossed, and her youngest pup (Audry) even jumped into the chair and said "goodbye."

Thank you for letting us know.

Shit, there's been a lot of that going around in the last several weeks, including here at casa de calimary.

Why do they have to have such short lifespans? Sometimes I find myself wishing they could live as long as we do, and go when we do. So maybe we can all wind up at the Rainbow Bridge at the same time.

I try not to think about that inevitable day when Leo crosses that bridge.

May her happy life give you comfort as you mourn your loss.

We all know how fleeting the incredible happiness brought by our four-legged family members. I am very sorry for your loss.

May Audry help to bring you some comfort as your memories sustain you.

She put her whole bottom-half into wagging her tail. I called it "doing the Cookie."

There is a lovely sunny October day photo I have of my heart dog running thru a pile of fallen leaves; for some reason I took a second snap after he left the frame. Here and Gone.
Alex The Wonder Dog & I were there that day, and it was a damn good day. I have sharp clear memories of that, which are making me a bit weepy as I type this. That dog still 10 years on gives me so much.

It makes me think of Manny (FLFC) because Cookie is his nickname. Wanna cookie worked better than Manny.

It's never easy.
