Minnie


This post is one of those that I hate to write. I've sat here staring at this screen for the last 10 minutes. Just hoping that maybe the time hasn't really come. But it has.

Minnie, the first dog I ever truly loved, died over night. She was 14 years old, so it wasn't unexpected. But still very hard. 



We got Minnie as a puppy. She was essentially a bribe -- if I stayed in Girl Scouts in 8th grade then we could get a dog. I agreed. When we went to get a puppy at the breeders, Minnie was the first dog I picked up. She promptly peed all over me, and I was in love. 


Minnie was the best dog. Best puppy. Best everything. She was smart, kind, and listened so well. She loved chasing balls and shredding all types of paper. And she had a great nose. She could smell out a piece of food, or a ball behind furniture better than any dog I've ever seen. Even in the end, when she was blind, she would recognize me from my smell. 

I believe I'll see Minnie again and that she is in a better place. And I look forward to the day when we can once again play ball together.

Rest in peace, sweet Minnie girl. We all love you. And will miss you dearly.

I'm SO sorry for your loss. Poor Minnie girl. If you haven't read it before, read this poem: http://petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm

It really makes your heart feel better.

I'm so sorry Nicole. I know how it feels, and while it does get easier with time these pups have a way of worming their ways into our souls - I still think of my Dolly almost daily, and she's been gone since July. Big hug.

I'm so sorry Nicole. Losing a pet is always so hard, especially one who's been around so long.

Awesome blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring
writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a
little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or
go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed ..
Any suggestions? Bless you!
