Today we lost our Opie, he was gong to turn 5 in Arpil. He was my baby; I really didn’t think I could love another pet after losing one 6 years ago, I said, “I will never feel this pain again…” well, he stole my heart and we brought him home. He started out as a gift to my daughter for graduation but they lived with me and when my daughter moved out 5 months ago, he stayed with “Mom” and filled a void I guess when my daughter left. I suppose the guilt I feel is because I felt I took him and his “Buddy” for granted, that they’d always be there when I opened the door and keep me company and keep me busy when the house went quiet.
Always something to pick up or fix. You will be so missed, because you were so loved, there is a big hole in my heart now, and with time it may fill but for now the sadness of missing you is so deep. Love you, Opie. May you make that jouney in peace. Love the Momma, Hope there’s lotz of treats for you where ever you go….
