Thank you so much for your condolences, guys. I really appreciate it. It was a rough night, and my husband persisted in trying to cheer me up. I just can't help thinking how unfair the timing was... we had such plans for sweet Daisy, but will continue those plans for her sister, Minnie.
I think the thing that hurts the most is knowing that to my sister, this is probably a relief... one less dog to take care of.Just after she messaged me about this, she posted a bulletin on her myspace site (where she messaged me from) that was a survey, and hasn't posted a single thing about Daisy. It steams me that someone can lose someone so special and care so little, to then literally JUST AFTER turn around and happily and so carefree-ly answer a goofy survey. I couldn't even read it...it upset me too much that she cared so little. My husband didn't even have words and was quite mad at the callousness.
I feel horrible because I know my sister didn't even take the time to tell Minnie that her dear friend crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and wont' be coming home. If she won't even love a dog enough to keep her alive and happy, she won't take the time to explain things to Minnie. My heart aches for Minnie and Daisy both.
To me, I have lost a dear friend, and didn't get to tell her goodbye and give her one last doggy hug. I don't understand her lack of reaction in it.
I asked her if she could send me a picture of Daisy so we could create a little memorial for her. I didn't mention that it'll be created for our big backyard in the future that we intend to give sweet Minnie...along with a new doggy friend so she's no longer all alone. We're going to really start working at financial things so we can move ahead quicker on getting a house, for Minnie's sake.
It's sad to me that the most basic things, like a grassy backyard, fun trips to the dog beach or the park, playing with or even giving them toys, giving them treats, petting them, bathing them, giving them a warm home....they wouldn't even do the basics.
Hang on, Minnie... Auntie is working on changing your life around and giving you a happy rest-of-your-life. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it happen in time for your sister and dear friend.Please hang on, Honey... Auntie's working on it.
Thanks again for your kind words, guys. This hit hard...it'll be difficult to talk about much other than this today. Hope that's okay.
Love and hugs to you guys,
Rosie*
