A good goodbye
We have had a bittersweet weekend but it has brought peace. Georgie is deteriorating quickly, so we have reassurance that we are doing the right thing at the right time, before she is in pain or can't walk on her shaky little legs. We will go to the last visit to our vet tomorrow morning after a weekend of kisses, hugs,letting her tear up kleenex to her heart's content, getting tiny sips of water into her and tiny bites of her favorite foods. She has taken tiny walks and been carried for the trip back down the sidewalk. She has spent most of the time in my arms, being told what a pretty girl, what a good girl she is, and giving me kisses and cuddles. We have packed as much love into these three days to last her forever.
I got the final sign when she was not able to get up to walk me to the bathroom and back. She has done that every time since she came to our home the night before Thanksgiving and began her herding job of watching over her new mommy. I think it is God telling me it's the right time and that He will take care of her sweet soul. It hurts, but I would rather feel this pain that to have not had the nine months with her to love and be loved.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the prayers and love. It is a special comfort because you all know about Sheltie love. Please pray for us tomorrow morning.
