It’s the song that has been playing over and over in my head. The little earworm since I called the vet this morning to call them out to see Pepper this afternoon at home. It’s a song I haven’t heard in I don’t know how many years and bears no importance or relevance in my life.
Until now.
And I realise, with an amused smile, that this is SO Pepper. The chorus could have been written by her. If… y’know… she had opposable thumbs.
So as we sit here waiting for her time to go, she and I, please have a listen to “our song” and smile with me:
If you leave me, can I come too?
We can always stay
But if you leave me, can I come too?
And if you go, can I come too?
Kirrily, I'm thinking of you and Pepper.
I have spent all day crying and here I am again. xxx
Thank you E xx
You and me both, darling girl. When will it end? xxxxx Thinking of you.
Hugs to you all. Pepper was special and nothing is ever going to change that. x
With helping her pass on today has come this strange mixture of relief that she's not weighed down any more, happiness remembering the dog she was in her younger days, yet of course a deep sense of loss. She was such a beautiful girl. Thank you, Steve.
Im getting teary now as you recount this to us to share the words…so beautiful and so meaningful. Hugs to you three.& Jazz…..and Pepper is in your heart forever XXX
way to make me cry. this is hitting very close to home for me as i watch our girl getting older by the day, she moves slower, is getting more lumps and bumps growing under her fur and is generally just not the girl she used to be. we always knew after the incident with her kidneys that her life would be shorter than expected but it still hurts, she's my girl.
send much love your way K – it was hard to do but it was the right thing to do, Pepper loved you even more for not wanting to see her in pain or suffer any longer than she had too – that's the ultimate show of love.
~x~
I'm behind the 8 ball – just realising what's happened since catching up on reading my fav blog. Tears for you, it is too closs to home in this household too. Smiling too for the freedom she has now. I expect she'll never be far away.
Bless!
Oh Rach xxxx it IS blessedly hard. Too hard to imagine. So I didn't. Until it absolutely HAD to happen. Big hug in reserve for you, whenever it is we might meet.
Hi Judi xo Yes, her release and relief from her tired old incapacitated body is my only solace that she is gone. Very, very sombre house here yet.
