she's gone
It has just been so hard, loving her up while watching her go, this past week.
She was the puppy who grew up with our children,
She was my companion on evening rounds out to gather eggs, to close up the barns.
I could always be confident that there was no predator anywhere nearby.
She was our greeter, letting us know when someone was coming down the drive.
She was one well-loved family dog who so seamlessly took on the role of farm dog.
I had no idea how much I'd miss her.
Damn, it just downright SUCKS losing your dog.
And so strange, too, after growing up with fear of dogs instilled deep within me,
to now be living without one,
after 17 years of living with and loving them.
