Today was a really hard day for our family.If you’re a pet owner, you know – they aren’t just pets. They are family. You love them like your children. So when something happens to them, it’s heartbreaking. It just shatters you.
Two days ago, my grandpuppies escaped their fenced-in yard.Two days of searching, posting, and praying.
We looked everywhere and hoped so hard they would just come running home.
Today we found out they gained their wings. They were always together in life, and this was no different. They will always be together now.
I want to take a moment to thank the person who made that phone call to my son-in-law to let him know what happened. I know that had to be one of the hardest things to do. I’ve never had to call a stranger and give them such heartbreaking news. That took a lot of courage, and honestly, a lot of heart. You are a really special person.
Thank you.
Please keep my family in your thoughts tonight as we handle this heartbreak and loss, especially my grandbabies. They loved those dogs so much.
I promised from the very beginning of this blog that I would keep things real. That means sharing the sad parts too, not just the chaos and popcorn.
In this life, we never know what’s coming. Who we will gain or who we will lose. This is why I truly believe we should show the people – and our pets – that we care about them every single day.
Tell them you love them. Because we don’t know what the future holds, and we don’t know when they might be taken from us.
As I sit here thinking about our Winnie and Runa, I get angry wondering why this would happen. They were great dogs. They loved everyone. They loved their babies – my grandbabies – so much. Why would they be taken from us? It’s not fair.
I know I will never get that answer. And I know I can’t do anything about it. And yes, I know being angry is part of grieving. I understand that. It just doesn’t make it any easier.
So tonight, please hug your fur-babies a little tighter. Let them know you care.
We love you forever, Winnie and Runa. 🐾Love,Gramma M
