She was always the quiet and calm one. Never a troublemaker, and was always submissive to the other dogs as she did not want to fight. She was a very sweet and peaceful dog, an innocent. Even during times when she was weak, she would still wag her tail and try to get up for you to show you that she cared and loves you.
By chance, I had been spending more time in the backyard the past couple of weeks to break a sweat, and so I was able to give her a little more TLC than usual, which I had been remiss with for the past years due to being so busy with work all the time. I wish I could have had some more time to make it up to her.
Petting and stroking her fur. And watering her to soak her body as a cool treat during these summer days. Maybe that was our goodbye.
I am sad and feel weak during times like this. It was just yesterday when I was looking into her eyes as she wagged her tail, and now she's suddenly gone. I always feel like I could have done more or could have done things differently. I remember there were periods in my life where everyone and everything was gone, but my dogs were still there by my side, so it hurts even more when they are no longer here with me.
Looking at her pictures from as a puppy and growing up, it hurts, as it takes me back to an older place and older times.
I'll miss you Goldie! Gold and I will be thinking of you. Wait for us. We'll see you again.
