It's been 2 months since she passed from this earthly home
and has found her way to doggy heaven
... and I just couldn't fight the tears back to make this post until now.
She was a good dog.
She was my constant companion for almost 14 years.
Many hours had been spent together in conversation ...
Me doing the talking ~ and she listening and dwelling on my every word
as if she knew what I was rambling on about.
She gave me comfort.
Our family was blessed to have such a loyal and loving pet.
It's really hard for me to take my walks without her.
She loved blazing the trail and checking things out before me ...
~ and running in new fallen snow ...
She was a good dog.
Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

It hurts so much to lose such a trusted friend, that accepts you just the way you are. God bless Brandy. Blessings to you, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture tribute.
What a wonderful tribute to your best friend. Dan and I know exactly how you feel. We still mourn our two "kids" and it has been about 4 years for both of them. Our heart is with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteoh, i'm terribly sorry, mel. i know your pain well. my little marigold (my yellow lab) will be 14 in less than 2 weeks, and i know each day might be our last together...
ReplyDeleteLove you girl. You express the feelings so weil. Sometimes I think someone cannot love a pet like I did, until you learn.
ReplyDeleteI remember a sweet old girl, a Golden Lab, there in the north country. She greeted us on our arrival. Such a sweet disposition. Lord yes, I can understand how you miss her. My loss was Ace, way over 50 years ago and yes I think of him fondly now.
Great tribute word wise and pictures.
Love to you guys!
So sorry. We still miss our "Baby" a most lovely and loyal Golden. We adopted Opal, a Great Pyr who has a similar dispostion and a good companion but there will never be another "Baby." I hope the good memories will ease your sorrow soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, I know how much it hurts to say goodbye to your furry friends.
ReplyDeleteOh Mel, what a lovely tribute and I know you have shed tears galore. It hurts so much to give them up. We always mourn our pets. I can never remember being without a pet. Always a dog or 2. They kept each other company when their were 2. I am so sorry but your love showed in every word. Brandy could never have had a better friend than you and Brandy knew it.
ReplyDeleteIt's very hard to have to give one up. You will never forget her. Rest in peace Brandy.Helen

poor Brandy...
ReplyDeleteI had tears

Mel, Brandy was such a loving dog. It's never easy losing them. Thom and I still talk about his Smoke Dog and my Bubba and Tippy, and they've been gone for years. But they were our 'furry family' members and just like other family members we hold fond memories of them.
