Belleview Ladan-The Wonder Dog earned her angel wings this morning. She was such a joy and great dogther over the past 13 years. November 6th, 2011 to April 4th, 2025. RIP
There will come a day that we will vacuum up the last of your hair that was always such a nuisance. There will be no apologies about the state of the backseat of the car. And no wincing after I hear the doorbell because of the roar of barking, I know comes right after. There will come a day when I can stay out with friends for as many hours as I want without care, and night where there is no song and dance at the backdoor while I stand barefoot in the freezing cold and try to lure you back in the house so I can get to bed. I will fill one less bowl of food, leave less lights on when no one’s home, have less toes stepped on, and I will go on vacations without a second thought. But coming home will never been the same again. Walking in the front door will feel deafening silent and boring and wrong. The carpets and floors will look sterile, silence will ring so much louder than the little charm on your collar, I will never feel as special or as unconditionally loved for just existing, I will still drop purposefully crumbs by accident and feel sad when they’re not quickly consumed, I will struggle to find a piece of décor that looked better than your water bowl, the couch we always wanted but didn’t get for the risk of it getting ruined will quickly lose it appeal and the one with the dent spot will be the only one we want. The little bite marks in the molding will be a cherished memory rather than an eyesore, I will stop being hung up on every scratch in the hardwood. And wonder what scratch in the hardwood was your last. I will no longer feel pulled to go for walks in the rain, or have a literal reason to stop and smell the roses, There will come a day that all things I’ve complained about time and time again will get easier and it will be one of the hardest days ever to come.
