Farewell to our Baby Dog

RIP, our beautiful Baby! We love you so much.

Farewell Friend, yet not farewell.
Where I go, ye too, shall dwell.
I am gone, before your face,
A moments time, a little space.
When ye have gone where I have stepped,
Ye will wonder, why ye wept.

Today, in spite of our veterinarian's best ongoing efforts, we had to put our sweet beloved girl down, due to kidney failure. We're sad beyond words.

We enjoyed the honor of Baby being our, well, baby... for just a wee amount of time (a year and a half). But in that too-short span, I fell in love with the sweetest-natured, most obedient dog I've ever been blessed with. Baby never met a stranger she did not like. Everyone loved her, including our cats. I think that little Lily is missing her the most... she used to rub up against Baby while twittering her teeny cat chatter ("Meep! meep!") each night, and then would lie down next to her.

Yeti is up in Heaven, welcoming 'Pee Pee Dog' Baby and showing her the best sunny patches of grass to roll around in, and Evvy is also there waiting to pet her sweet head.

I'm all cried out but keep finding more tears streaming down my face...
