It’s Been Awhile – Once again!

It’s been over a month since I sat down to type/write about this journey of ours and it’s been quite a month! Some big changes ~ some settling in ~ some answers ~ some new questions! The biggest and most difficult change is also the most recent one. On Wednesday of this week, my two puppies – Daisy and Auggie. – made their own journey together over the Rainbow Bridge.

These “puppies” were actually 12 or 13 years old and have been my ‘puppies’ for 10 years. Needless to say, I miss them so much ~ there’s a big hole in my heart that will take some time to heal. And it’s the little things that catch me by surprise ~ yesterday, after working in the yard, it was time for a shower. Just as I was preparing to get out of the shower, I realized that Daisy would not be sitting there, waiting for me as she always did. Even now, as I type this, the tears well up and the heart hurts. Last night, as I went into the bedroom to get ready for bed, Auggie was not already curled up in the bed as she always was. Again, the tears and the pain. It’s the little things. Each time these moments hit me, I take a deep breath and thank them for the years of joy and love they each gave me ~ for the adventures we had ~ the paths we walked down ~ the cuddles we shared. What a blessing!

As an aside — I do find it interesting that I have no problem seeing them in dog heaven ~ whole, healthy, happy ~ and yet I don’t see myself walking ‘through pearly gates into a place with streets pathed with gold’ when it’s my turn to take the journey. Things to ponder…..

More on the other changes this weekend!
