Tonight as I
enjoy the unseasonable 70degree weather by the firepit on our back
deck, I'm thinking a little clearer than I was this same time last
night. Yesterday we said goodbye to my sweet Binx. A day I knew was
coming, I just hoped it didn't have to be so soon. After years of
prescription food and medicines his little body couldn't be comforted
anymore. He spent his final days crying out in pain and pacing the house
seeking comfort.
Our
vet gave him a shot and allowed us to bring him home so he could spend
his final hours where he felt safest. With the most peace I have seen
from him in months he curled up on his favorite pillow and went to
sleep. It was a sad day filled with tears and lots of grieving, but it
truly happened in a manner that seemed fitting for our fluffy boy.
The
Lord gave us special comfort and even orchestrated that Dane would be
down for his morning nap so Tevie and I could be alone with Binx as we
said goodbye. In his final moments he was snuggled up with his people at
home, and I think he felt safe.
Binx,
I hope you've found Louie, Puji, George, Oreo, Bandit and the other
pups our family has grieved over the years. I KNOW you've found
Checkers, Crue, Boots and Ollie because if ever there were a dog who
loved to chase a cat, it was you, my dear. I hope puppy heaven is filled
with peanut butter treats, long walks without a leash and, of course,
is a Cone Free Zone! I miss you so much. Our home is quiet and my heart a
little empty tonight. You're buried beneath the willows so I don't have
to look far to think of you. I love you, Bingo Cardingo.
Be a good boy, Binxie Bear.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
