A Good Bye To Sweet D

Gamma and I said goodbye to Sweet D yesterday, no she is doing fine she just went to a new home.

The unfortunate facts of life sometimes get in the way of plans. With the lowering of my income and Gamma going back to work we did not have the time to do her justice, so the decision was made to let someone else share in her life. We met a really nice couple that we feel will really be a good fit.

Genny and Sweet D connected right off the bat with Sweet D letting her rub her side and kisses were exchanged, we know that she is going to be happy in her new place.

As we began the process of loading her I felt a little strange knowing that I was helping her get into that big scary cave to go for a ride to a strange place to live with strange people. Will we ever see her again? We have a standing invitation to drop by and visit, will we I don't know, goodbyes suck bad enough the first time to risk the emotions of a second?

Gamma and I have a wonderful life and family, our human family is important to us, healthy and happy, Grand kids growing like weeds, but our kids at this point of our lives are our animals and when you send one off to college it leaves a empty place in your heart(and an empty pen)

So we say bye and may you find good sweet hay and cool clear water and new friends to take for long rides and enjoy new things along the way!
