It is with heavy hearts…
This past week we said good-bye to our beloved Moon.
We are so devastated. These are somber times and we are taking some time to grieve. Our social posts have been quiet and actually beginning to write this makes her loss very real.
Each year we have celebrated Moon, Tula, and Mossy’s birthdays together since they are just a day apart. The celebrations have been full of homemade treats, grilled venison, and lots of love. I think I started to become even more appreciative of our time with our elders when they turned 9. I remember making a doggie birthday cake in the shape of a big 9. We had clearly recognized that our time with all three girls is so precious.
This was a sudden loss. There was no long illness or accident, just an elderly girl’s body failing. For the past few months Moon has been looking out into the woods each time she went outside like she was waiting for someone. We believe that she was being called to join those that have gone before her.
Tula has taken her loss the hardest. She is not very interested in her food and is very depressed. We are making her special meals to pick up her spirits, but I think it is just going to take a little time.
Be grateful for each day you have with your beloved people and pets. As much as we look forward to tomorrow we know it is not a guarantee.
