Lost Wonder
We lost one of the most joyful wonders of our lives yesterday.
In the last 7 months, whenever we had a good day, or an especially good moment, like playing ball or chasing his chicken, which he loved to do after dinner, I would say to Walter, “Not today, Babe, no one is taking you from us today.”
This week, it became clear we had run out of good days. We exhausted our allotment of good moments. Yesterday was the day.
We will forever be grateful that he graced our lives. We are devastated he is gone. And we are relieved his sweet, gentle soul is no longer tethered to a diseased body.
Oh my ~ this is heart breaking CB. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey of love, joy and compassion for your sweet Walter. I am forever grateful to these gentle, loving beasts who greet us with such joy upon each reunion, and who can sense when we need love, compassion and laughter. They are truly remarkable companions and perhaps the best medicine for everything. I am so sorry for your loss. Big hugs to you and Theo.
My heart is literally broken for you and Theo. What a truly lucky dog to have been loved so fiercely and let go so compassionately. ❤️
