How Do We Live...
This has been a particularly hard summer for so many of the people I hold dear. It seems we have lost many greats in the dog world and sadly another of our local heroes has taken her place at the Bridge.
Several weeks ago I featured a number of the Pit Bulls in our area who serve as examples of what a true American Pit Bull Terrier is all about. One of these exemplary dogs was Bella, a girl whose journey has now come full circle.
How do we explain the absolute devastation when we lose our companions? These are not just dogs they are our very life blood at times and a piece of our soul dies with them. Many of us understand all too well what our dear sister Tammy is feeling right now. Our dogs have stood between us and being alone. They have shared our joys and sorrows and all of our secrets. They have seen us naked without laughing. To face the days without that look of unconditional love shining from their eyes is a pain we feel in every beat of our hearts.
Bella was lost in a tragic twist of fate. At times like these the "what ifs" can tear us apart. We beat ourselves up over something that could not have been foreseen no matter how much we replay the events in our minds. We have only one choice and that is to cling to the memories and celebrate the lives that have made us the humane human beings we are today.
To my dear Tammy: My deepest sympathies and love. Run free sweet Bella.....
