A happy beginning, to a sad end.
The family dog died last night. I had only known her for the 3 years I've lived here, but everyone else knew her much longer. I miss her. We lost a great, innocent soul today.
But it still wound up turning out beautifully. Just before my fiance and his dad put her in her grave, a monarch butterfly flew up, landed briefly on her body, flew up, then landed again on some long grass a foot away before taking off.
I tossed in the poem I'd written for her, my fiance tossed in a flower he found for her, and she was laid to rest amongst the long grass in our back 5 acres.
Sleep sweet, Meisha. You weren't the most intelligent, definitely not the most brave, but ****..you were loyal. And you were the FIRST, and ONLY pet my son smiled and giggled at. Run free now and forever.
