Still Missing Her

I sit here with tears in my eyes. Today is three months since my Gi-Gi left this earth to join her brothers, Joe, Biscuit, and Gizmo. I still have a hard time dealing with her death under such cir%%stances, as she had to go through. Some things are so hard to understand. Gi-Gi was such a good girl, so sweet and gentle, a true lady. I will always love her.

Our furchildren are such good examples of how we humans should be, kind, unconditional loving, forgiving, and accepting of life no matter what our status or income. Gi-Gi was all of this and more. I still miss her.

As some well meaning people have said, she was just a dog and not family.

Well, they will possibly never know or understand the significance of the relationship of other life and the gifts they can give. Those people often times do not have or understand respect or reverence for all life. The same creator who created me created everything else too. Everything has worth and enjoys life as much as anyone or I do.

I would gladly dance that dance again and accept the pain rather than miss the dance.

Peace,
Alan

To My Gi-gi

Dear Gi-Gi,

I remember the first day I saw you, it was love at first sight. You were so pretty and had such a sweet personality.

You were so good on the ride home and took to your new home so well. You were never any trouble and liked everything around you.

I always told you that you were a pretty girl, because you were. You were my girl.

You never showed any aggression toward any one or thing, you were so good.

I do not know why many things happen. Sometimes there is nothing we can do. Life is so unpredictable, only God knows his plan. We sometimes have to wait to find out the whys of this world.

Why you had to suffer so, I do not know. The attack on you was so unwarranted you were in your own yard where it was suppose to be safe. You tried valiantly to stay but it was not to be.

Gi-Gi if tears could have brought you back I could easily have done that. You see I have cried enough tears to fill an ocean, if not at least a sea. The pain in my heart is so great. It is amazing how much breaking the heart can take and still go on. Each one of you furchildren took a piece of my heart with you when you left.

The Lord had other plans for you, but we will see each other again. You are in good company with Joe, Biscuit, and Gizmo and we will all be together again one day.

Gi-Gi you were an angel whom God needed. You are so missed and I loved you. I always will love you.

Gi-Gi a gentle, sweet, and true lady. You were one of my life’s loves. August 19, 1995 – January 15, 2004

Wait in peace dear girl.

One Month Since My Sweet Lady Gi-gi Died.

Today marks one month since my sweet lady Gi-Gi went to the bridge. I do not know why her time to leave came so soon.

One Day I will see the big picture but until then I will miss her. The consolation to it all is I know she is healthy and has no pain. Also she is in good company until we meet again.

It does amaze me that the heart can take so much pain and still go on. When each one of my furchildren left, a piece of my heart went with them.


On another note, Friday I got another new girl, Dolly. Dolly is a miniature red poodle. She was a kennel mate with Bridgette. So I know have the three new ones, Max a miniature Dachshund, Bridgette a miniature black poodle, and Dolly. They all are with their new housemates Speedy and Muffie.

Life is strange. Poor Gi-Gi died and three new ones come into my life.

*If missing the pain meant missing the dance I will endure the pain for I would not have wanted to miss that dance*

Peace,

Alan

Gi-gi A True Lady.

On January 7, a dog I was watching for a friend attacked my Gi-Gi. Gi-Gi lived for 9 days, until the 15th of January when she lost her battle.

The vet said it was miraculous she survived the attack. She was bitten a minimum of twenty times and had over one hundred stitches. She put up a courageous battle to live but pneumonia and an embolism finally got her.

I feel as if I let her down as she was in her own yard, which is fenced and I could not protect her at her own home.

Gi-Gi was a medium, blond, poodle and the sweetest natured girl. She never was an aggressive dog.

The images of poor Gi-Gi after the attack and when she came home with over a hundred stitches. Then getting pneumonia. I can not get them out of my mind.

I feel so horrible. I have this nauseating feeling in my stomach.

Gi-Gi did not deserve what happened to her. She never was an aggressive girl, just so sweet and gentle. I am having a hard time dealing with this. I can not help feeling this way.

Gi-Gi a gentle, sweet, and true lady. She was one of my life's loves.
