Lost Memory #35 - Winnie Winnie...
I had a wonderful German Shepard/BorderCollie/Sure? cross named "Winnie" in Real Life...I say "had" because she passed away on Saturday, February 1st...
She had a seizure Friday night which was known to happen with her, but it didn't stop and got worse through the night. All throughout, there was a bad blizzard blowing outside which didn't help things at all. My other dog Jester and I stayed with her all night, comforting her as her body shook and she stayed so confused..
I didn't sleep a wink so I could call the vet when they opened.
Something was very wrong with my little girl...
Sadly, a rain tumour was what was wrong and it wasn't going to get better...so Jester and I were with her when she crossed over. She needed the confusion to stop and the pain.
Winnie had saved my life many times over 10 years and loved Jester and I honestly and truly as we did her...
I miss her very, very much as does Jester. She helped him overcome past trauma so much when I took him in. I've never seen a stronger pair bond...
Jester and I are having to adapt to a rather large hole in our lives where the love of Winnie was. We're trying our best, but we both still grieve very much. We will for some time...
In Second Life, Winnie is there still..also still purple and still painted like a Day of the Dead character - ironic now. She enjoyed being purple though tbh...
She will roam the beach in front of my SL home forever with Jester and play play play by the water's edge as she loved to do in Real Life.
This photo I took a few years ago of her and I at sunset in Second Life. The look of her here matched how she was in real life - looking at you with love and caring always. Intelligence and imagination always working with her.
It is one of the photos the Flickr servers "ate" for unknown reasons that Flickr found again for me with 123 others, but all their stories, their journaling...gone...
Now I will use it as a fitting photo of Winifred and I on the beach just being together like we were in Real Life.
I love you very much Winnie wherever you are now. I hope Dad and Auntie have found you. I know they loved you dearly too.
Take care Little Girl..
- With all the love and Walks
