I’ll say ditto to what other people have said. It is wonderful that GG was home the night she passed.

I LOVE all of these pictures. I always smiled at the ones in which she is interrupting your photo shoots. She certainly never lost her curiosity!

Thank you, Ern and Amber.

I still keep expecting her to be just around the corner in the house, but I am slowly adjusting.

Right now, waking up – when I’m still partly asleep and forget that she is gone – and then coming home after being gone – are still hard. Being here this week is (slowly) getting me used to her absence around the house.

The tulips are looking lovely, and I did go ahead and take photos of them. I’ll post them tomorrow.

So sorry to hear about GG.

I am glad that you were able to spend your last moments with her. I bet that was comforting for her, to be with the ones she loved.

You had a very lovely tribute. I am sure GG is looking down on you from Heaven.

Hugs to you and HB.

Her name was Galadriel – I’m not sure that any of us ever said that.

I’m so sorry to read about your loss. I know how much you loved her. You gave her a wonderful life. It is so difficult to skip those routines that we develop with our animals after they are gone, each one a reminder of them. I still think I see my Nudgie out of the corner of my eye sometimes, jumping down from the couch or coming around the corner. I think that they are always with us. *HUGS*

Thank you, all of you.

Texas Seestor, I forgot to put in the “don’t touch the white parts!” I’m glad you included that.

Kalki, I knew you would understand, since you have such a close relationship with your cat (it is cats, isn’t it?). I thought you have more than one…. maybe I missed a post about Bridget.

Squirl, it was hard to write, but important to get it all down. It is nice to hear that you think it was a beautiful tribute. The memories are helping. The photos especially. I’m glad that I took so many of her. Even though, sometimes it felt like we were going a little nuts taking so many photos…

This was a beautiful tribute to your Girlie-girl. The love poured out of every word. I’m so happy for you that you guys had those last moments with her. I hope that spot in your heart heals soon. You have many wonderful memories to help fill that gap. Again, many hugs.

Oh Danielle, all my sympathy. I have the same close connection with my Bridget, so I understand the true mourning involved in the death of a beloved pet. I am so glad you had that last evening with her, and that she woke you up for her last moments. I know, in her own animal way, she appreciated the love and care you gave her. And clearly her life was a gift to you as well. Farewell, Girlie-girl.

What a wonderful tribute to a beloved friend.

I fondly remember playtime with Girlie-girl. I still have some heavy wool socks which have lots of snags from playing with her… “Don’t touch the white parts!”

She will be missed.

I will keep you and HB in my thoughts.
