Good Friday marked two weeks since Allie died. Easter was happy, and it reminded me that as Christians, the sting of death is now gone, and all animals and humans can live with God forever. I know that God is taking care of Allie and that she is happy. But I can't help but be angry that I didn't get to spend more time with her. She would have loved these first few days of springtime -the warm weather and the birds singing -sometimes it's just so hard to understand God's plan and why He would want to separate us from those we love.
I know that 2 years with Allie was better than no time at all. And I know that her 2 years were filled with a whole lot of life. I also know that 100 years wouldn't have been enough. But I can't help but wish that I could have had at least one more spring with her. I just keep asking why? Why this horrible disease? Why Allie? -------------------- Alice Mae Bennett ("Allie") was born around May of 2003. She came home to us in July. On March 10, 2005, she became ill with a condition called mesenteric torsion or volvulus. It is a twisting of the small intestine which is nearly impossible to diagnose. Once symptoms begin it is usually too late to save the intestine by surgical means. There are no known ways to prevent it and its causes are also unknown. It is extremely rare, especially in medium-size females like Allie. It is more common in males of large breeds, like German Shepherds.
Allie was a sweet, happy and loving soul. I will miss her every day. Thanks for giving us these last two years, little girl. We'll always treasure them. |

Here are some thoughts I have to answer your question: when one door closes, another one opens. I have been thinking A LOT this past week like you "why why why". Perhaps it's because we are needed to give love to another beautiful pet. I don't mean that we're going to run out and get another dog right away. I can't even imagine doing it for a LONG time. But I do believe that the path we're on in life is the path we're meant to be on...for whatever reason....usually due to learning certain lessons. I also believe strongly that we're being led down this path, towards something else....perhaps there's a puppy born right now, who in time is going to need a loving home...your home...my home...someone else on here's home. And at that time, our paths will cross and we will be ready to know love again.
Am I making any sense at all? Sometimes it's hard to put my thoughts on this subject into writing. But I guess what I'm saying is, look at the BIG picture...when the time is right, we will have the opportunity to give a GREAT life to another dog or cat or whatever and that in itself is worth living for, no? Btw, when I have a relapse back into grief, someone please refer me to my own words in this post!!

You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." ~Unknown |
