She was around when the boys went off to Baylor ... to become young men. She provided needed comfort in the loss of parents ... encouragement and support during wedding activities, made the trek to a 'new' home in San Antonio and welcomed the sight of new birth ... Huston and Emery. (She still couldn't get over out how fast Emmy had grown!)
Sure, we all must grieve in one way or the other - mine is to simply do so 'afterward' and in memorialized text. (Yeah, you'll recall the Christmas after Dad passed away ... !) But, she was a part of our family for 11 years and 5 days -- and, I suppose, when the nest empties ... pets become more a 'part' of what remains.
In the end, she left this world as she had remained steadfast with us ... in peace, comfort and love -- yeah, I've had about 5 dogs in my lifetime: Spike, Shim, Max, Maxine and Tanner -- and she was the best! No doubt!
(I guess I didn't mind picking up her poop so much after all ....)
We will miss you, 'Good Girl' ....
