Remembering Daisy- tough stuff... (thedoc617)

Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    Remembering Daisy- tough stuff... (thedoc617)

     Technically, she passed away on the 21st, but it was a Tuesday, the day after MLK day. Two years ago. It still haunts me to this day. I still can't explain what happened or how. What I believe though, was her passing away was a result of a dispute between my (now) ex boyfriend and I. I was not with her when she went to the bridge. I never got to say goodbye.  Things are ok now, and I am safe, but the guilt still eats me up inside sometimes. Grief does that to you, I suppose. That's truthfully all I can say on that matter.

    And I realized I never would have met and saved Lucky. I truly believe Daisy (and Louie) had a part in sending him to me. He really needed somebody strong. 

     Today isn't about being sad though, it's about remembering Daisy for who she was. I went to our local animal rescue shelter in town that is being rebuilt. They will put a brick on the pathway with her name on it. That means every dog that ever gets adopted will walk past her spirit on their way to a new life.

     To my heart dog. I love you so very much, you have no idea. I bet your job on the "i-dog welcoming committee" is to show everybody where the best mud holes are to roll in and get filthy. Because at the bridge, nobody cares!!!

    Laura - that is a truly beautiful thing that you've done in honor of Daisy. I love all the pictures of your sweet tomboy and can imagine how much you still must miss her. (((HUGS)))

    Daisy was a real cutie!  We lost our heartdog Shadow the same day you lost Daisy. It's comforting to know that they had company when they crossed the bridge.
