today is an incredibly bittersweet day...we are taking our time saying our goodbyes to miss zuzu anne, our sweet almost ten-year-old shih tzu. i bet none of you knew her middle name was anne. tomorrow morning she will cross the rainbow bridge and hopefully find uncle bleu, and her old time friends oliver and thor...and maybe my dog tiger from my childhood...and snoopy, my grandparents' dog (who could catch a football in his mouth).
between now and tomorrow morning, we will mourn. we will remember, we will laugh and cry and kiss and hug...and after tomorrow morning, we will continue to do the same, only with a zuzu-sized hole in our hearts
so i know i will see all my sweet animals again someday, for GOD tells us in the BIBLE that:
"The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, says the LORD."(Isaiah 65: 25)
Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear such sad news about ZuZu. Hold tight to the memories made over the last 10 years. I can't even imagine the Goede family without that sweet pup. If anyone can get through this, it's you! I am praying for the family, and for peace tomorrow. Love you all!
Thanks Christina!! I know it's going to be so strange to not have her underfoot and in my bed at night, but we know in our hearts that this is the right decision for her. I don't want her to keep having so much pain. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers! We all love you too! ps--i LOVE your blog!!!!!!!!!!!! and I love your instagrams!! you have really come into your own my dear! :)
