I’ve had dogs all my life but never one like Hallee. She was with me from the moment she was born. My girl was the last of eight puppies born to my Jack Russell Terrier Ophelia. She stole my heart the second I laid eyes on her. Hal was born the night before Halloween..that’s how she got her name. Hal-Gal-My-Pal as I liked to call her was an absolute sweetheart of a dog. She loved everyone she ever met and they couldn’t help but love her in return.
We had nearly nine years of sharing unconditional and unquestionable love for each other. I miss her sitting on my lap sleeping against my back at night playing fetch with her ring. If I close my eyes I can almost see her prancing through the house her little front legs moving in a small circular motion following my every step. When she wasn’t on my lap she was staring at me from wherever she was sitting.
Hallee’s death was sudden and quite unexpected. I think we both knew on the way to the vet’s office that we were sharing our final moments together. She died a few minutes after arriving there. I had Hallee cremated and brought her home where she belongs. She was one of a kind. I will never have another dog like my “sweetpea”. Somewhere in Heaven a child needed a good dog and now they have the best.
I love you Hallee. You will live in my heart forever. ‘Til we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge…..
