What a shocking grandmother I am, I did not realise what day it was but Kip the wonder dog has been on my mind since yesterday afternoon. I too miss her very much.
A quote has been circulating on the Border collie boards recently, from Irving Townsend: "We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle, easily breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way."
I have an old collie, now managing from day to day. That day looms for me in the not too far future and I still mourn another from 15 years ago! But we are blessed by friends like these indeed
Kip deserves a quite moment, your fur friend is no doubt onto the next adventure... my hound gets more and more frail and confused looking... each day is a gift.
the pain of the loss
ReplyDeletethe joy of the memories

ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you at this time. Time measured in dog years is an eternity and to live without them is a great sadness.
