Good night. My precious Píla

Píla
31.12.03 - 24.11.10

Most of you may not know who she was since it's been quite a while since I posted anything about her here on the board. But Píla was a dear, dear friend and companion of mine.

She was the family dog which we got when I was fifteen years old. She stayed with my parents when I moved out. But I frequently took care of her for them if they had to go out of town or on holiday.

Today I recieved a text message from my sister. She asked me to come right over. We needed to talk.

Turned out that dad had been trying to reach me all morning with no success, so it was up to my older sister to tell me that my dearly beloved Píla... was dead.

She had been hit by a car this morning.
Luckily she died at the impact so she did not suffer. I have been crying my eyes out all day. I just can't believe that Píla. My little sister. My friend. My compaion. Is gone.

Tragic.

She really was the worst puppy. She frequently shredded the mail, gnawed all our furniture. If she managed to slip out the door she'd run and have herself a little adventure while we worried sick. It took us months to get her properly housetrained and when other dogs came to visit she'd hog all the toys. But she managed to dig herself right and proper into my heart.

Píla.

When she was about eighteen months old it was as if someone had switched on a light and all of a sudden she became this perfectly behaved dog.
She no longer ran away, gnawed furniture or shredded the mail... though she still hoged her toys.

Píla.

She loved nothing more then to run and when riding in the car she'd start to whine exitedly when we turned off the road towards the beach where she was allowed to bound.
She enjoyed to stay around and watch my dad as he worked on the car-engine or help my mother dig up the flowerbeds when she was planting new flowers for the summer. She was a sundog and absolutely loved lying in the sun.
A stray cat once began to harass our cat and so Píla took it upon herself to guard house and home from this vial villain, who frequently was trying to upset the status quo.

Píla.

She was so much more than just a dog. She was a family member. She was my sister. She was apart of our small community, almost everyone living in my small home town has a memory of Píla and remember when we got her as a puppy. And how this little hurricane of havoc became a respectable member of the doggy society.

Píla, my little sister

Who was taken away from us way, way too soon. I am glad that she did not suffer but I was not ready to say goodbye, not by a long shot.

My precious Píla.

You will get a final resting place in our beautiful garden where you loved to be. Chasing away unwelcomed cats or just lying in the sun. We will find a nice stone to mark the location where you will now stay forever, yet you will always be alive in our mind and our hearts.

Click - clack. Click - clack is the sound that will echo in our heads for some time now. It is the sound of you walking across the hard wood floors back home.

Some may find it ridiculious but now there is a hole in the family. A gap that no one will be able to fill.

It is unfair. It is life.
I will love you. Always and forever.

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you, a million times I cried.
...If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as we are called one by one, the chain will link again.
