i'm not going to dramatize the loss of daisy by doing some R.I.P. business, but all the same, i'm really going to miss her. when we brought her home on my 14th birthday, she could fit in the palm of your hand almost. she had the cutest little round fat belly and a tiny skinny tail that fluttered around when she was happy. her whole body was so soft, and then as she got bigger, just her ears. i always loved petting her ears because they were softer than anything i'd ever felt.
i'm glad i didnt have to see her in failing health and that i wasn't there to watch her quit eating and drinking and not be able to stand up or move. but at the same time, i hate it that i wasnt there to help take care of her. every one of our dogs that we've had to put down, at least i was there to say goodbye and cry on the couch with mom. there is a daisy sized hole in our family, crouching in the back somewhere, too afraid to be out and about.
the silver lining is there though - within a month, there will be at least one new puppy at mom and dad's house. i just wish daisy would be there too.
