I hope nobody minds me posting this here – Rosie and Daisy were two beautiful doggies I knew who both passed away last week.
Daisy was a kelpie, rescued from a car park by my Auntie and Uncle many years ago. They thought she was about two, skin and bones, and very timid. They took her home with them, loved and nurtured her and she was a part of their family for an amazing 17 years, before she was finally pts last week. She was incredibly loyal, sweet and beautiful, and they loved her dearly. Daisy had an obsession with almonds, and would start drooling if you even went near the cupboard where they were kept! I know sheâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s munching all the almonds she wants, now, in doggy heaven. She was very much loved, a huge part of my life and will be sadly missed.
Rosie was Maxâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s sisterâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s golden retriever. She was 14 years old, and on Glucosamine and cortisone for her failing hips, had lost her voice and so barked with a soundless woof, and was the most loyal, sweet-hearted girl you could imagine. She had the heart of a puppy and even when she struggled to stand, her tail never stopped wagging. A few weeks ago Stephanie (Maxâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s sister) sat up with Rosie on a bad night, stroking her head, and thanking her for being there throughout her marriage, the birth of both of her children, and asking if she could just hang on for a bit longer, as they knew it was selfish, but they werenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t ready to lose her just yet.
Rosie hung on until last Friday, when she was admitted to hospital with organ failure and other problems, and they made the decision to euthanase her yesterday.
Both families who have lost their beloved dogs are, understandably, shattered, even though they knew their time was coming. I hope you donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t mind me asking you to take a minute to remember beautiful Daisy and Rosie, and wish them well on their way over the Bridge.
RIP angel girls
