I pulled the plug on both my mother and father at a pretty young age. Kept on trucking. Bit weepy both times, but was pretty much "meh" about it.
Banjo. Good lord I have been a total wreck. I didn't realize how ridiculously strong a bond I had with that mutt. It's been a month now and just the merest thought will make me tear up. I wake up and reach for him and that's a punch in the gut. These dogs just hole up in yer heart and refuse to let go huh?
But.....I just said yes to a 7 month old female rehoming. Couple broke up and all the people at work know how broken up I am. Lo and behold a new beginning just lands in my lap. Seems (your choice of deity here) works in weird ways. She has papers and all that jazz, I don't care. Her hips are supposedly in good order and I'm getting her at a great age. She's gonna learn under a grizzled ex-police Malinois. Peppy will walk all over her, and I'm going to enjoy that.
Banjo....man I miss you so freaking much it hurts. I hate you for not living 50 years. I love you for being such a soulmate. Dammit dog. You make me feel things that lets me know I'm human and never be as good as a dog. Oh hey, here's the waterworks again. Dammit Banjo. *sigh*
