Default Mariah left us today

Mariah left us today, March 23, 1999 - September 4, 2010. What type of fate is it when I take her out for our own private day? We spend the morning watching dog events, little children come over to pet her lying down beside her. Adults ask how old she is and what type of Shepherd she is. All the while she just lays there watching as it all goes by.

I remember when Mariah first came into our home. Mi-Mi was my Scare-dy Puppy. She was afraid of raised voices, people walking too close to her, the other dogs, and even the cat who only wanted to rub up against her, all this at the tender age of 8 years old. Over time Mi came to learn that we were not going to hurt her, she would butt in for petting when I was at the computer, do her little dance as it got close to dinner time, and even let out a little bark if we were not quick enough putting her bowl down. If a voice did rise Mariah would look to see who and where it was directed before she left the room. You could wink at Mi and she would come over putting her head on your lap to be petted. Always quiet and so much more I could not say all the things Mariah did or the love she brought into our home. It is dinner time, we miss her. Her passing breaks my heart in so many ways. The reminder that my other girls (8 & 11) are not too far behind, the space Mariah no longer occupies, her doggy licks, stealing tissue from the trash, her spirit.

Mi’s passing was not easy or expected. Mi Mi will no longer be scared, going to be with her sisters and brothers as they rest under the branches of the pine trees. It will be a long night without her lying in the room.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.

I was just thinking the same thing- so many dogs leaving this week. At least they're all together! So sorry, we all know how miserable this time is and will be for quite some time. Our thoughts are with you and Mariah's loved ones

Rest In Peace Mariah. Since her name is Mariah, that made me think of some songs by Mariah Carey.
