When we adopt a new doggy member into the family , we all probably presume that we are going to outlive them. But when the day comes and they leave us forever, we can never be prepared for that indescribable pain that we feel however many times we've been through the journey before!!
The utter helplessness and emptiness!!
And as it is now with my wonderful Megan who came into our lives in October 2019!!
From the day she arrived she took over! Every couch , bed , cushion, pillow chair she commandeered!
Although she enjoyed her walks - into everything always - she was a true couch potato!!
In the evenings when I settled into my recliner chair to watch TV she would jump onto the neighboring stool and slide over my shoulder onto my knee with her bum still on my shoulder and there she would remain all evening long!!! She was definitely " MUMMY'S Girl" !!!
At the end of December 2021 she vomited one afternoon ( well dogs do occasionally ) but within three short weeks cancer was confirmed and we made the awful decision!!
I was cradling her on my knee at home in her favourite recliner chair when the time came! She knew how much I cherished her!!
I have my other babies with me at the moment thank God but to say that Megan was special is an understatement !
What a character and what a privilege to have had her in our lives although for such a short time - two years & three months!!
I spoke to Di yesterday on the telephone and I thank you all at Caessr for everything you did to save Megan from the neglect she was suffering before I knew her - You are all angels!!
And please be assured - she could not have been more loved, cherished and adored!!
Thank you CAESSR for the wonderful , unforgettable time I had with Megan!!
Difficult to imagine at the moment but the time WILL come when I can look at her picture without this awful sense of loss that I'm feeling now!
Love you always Megan!!!!
Hilary & Mike
