![]() | This is Lennon. She died entirely unexpectedly in my arms yesterday. She came to me during one of the hardest times in my life, my Gran’s terminal cancer diagnosis. She would sit with me whilst I cried, give me a kiss (lick all over my face) to make me smile and let me know everything was going to be ok and as she was my Gran’s dog, we offered each other comfort through this awful period of time. Lenny was like my shadow, she had to be with me no matter where I was, (yes, that included the bathroom, when if I closed the door she would bark until I opened it or be sat right outside the door when I opened it), on walks where she always stayed just slightly behind me, making sure I’d got through any gate or door before she would come through, to even moving her bed to next to my side of the bed so she could sleep next to me. She would always make me (and others who saw her do it) laugh when I would call her beautiful and she’d get so excited that just wagging her tail wasn’t enough, so her whole back end would ‘wag’. She gave me so much happiness and comfort in the 6 years she was with me and I wouldn’t change one second of the time I had with her. Rest easy ‘my beautiful’. I take comfort in knowing you are back safely in your Mothers arms again. Until we meet again… (The third photo I’ve added is of Lennon with her brother, Finn, with my Gran shortly before she passed away of brain cancer. I will always treasure this photo as they all look so happy (as they always were when they were together) and so beautiful in spite of the what was going on at that time. [link] [comments] |
