RIP Marnie 2024
We could learn a lot from dogs.
Not the kind of things that make up a curriculum-
nothing that could be graded, or pass an exam,
but useful things.
How to be happy for no reason,
how to love without diffidence.
How to grab life and squeeze out all the best bits,
of whatever scrap you’ve been flung.
Wisdom - Jade Wright Dec 2020
Kassanndra adopted Marnie (named for several horror characters), and Penny (named for Pennywise the Dancing Clown, the cool Tim Curry version), both older dogs, from a Chihuahua rescue.
Unlike the growling, nipping stereotype of this breed, Kassanndra's dogs have been sweet and loving, never yappy or aggressive, always, to everyone.
Kassanndra made me promise, more than once, that if anything happened to her, I would take good care of her dogs.
Marnie used to march around the yard like a big patrol dog making security rounds, but she was moving a little slowly for a couple of days. Still, she was eating, drinking, and irking Penny so I chalked it up to old age finally catching up with her.
She passed away sometime during the night, after she and Penny went to bed.
I'm sure Kassanndra is looking after her again, and has introduced her to her first Chihuahua, Ruby (also a rescue).
R.I.P. Marnie. You're a good girl.
