Peace
Then on a cool autumn's morning,
in a warm glowing kitchen,
wrapped in soft baby blankets,
with low murmurs of our best golden girl memories
of soggy rawhides stolen and wiggling rumps,
stroked ears, and tearful kisses raining down on her auburn fur,
now intermingled with a new voice of compassion,
encircled by her people, her family,
with hearts full of poignant love and wistful regret that this day had finally come,
my first princess baby,
my Grendel,
left our family to find peace.

Goodbye my beautiful Grendel girl. You are already devastatingly missed, my love.

Lots of love to you and your family... I know how hard it is {hugs}....
What a beautiful epilogue you wrote. You are very talented at writing. You couldn't have written a more fitting or beautiful tribute to her. -remember: all dogs go to heaven!

Wow! I'm moved to big, huge tears. I don't quite know what to say. I'm sorry this day had to come for you. She is obviously very much loved and had a great life with you. She's lucky to have had you, and vice versa. You will be in my thoughts all day long.

Big hugs. Thinking about you all today.
She knows.
Oh dear, my word verification is "blest". How appropriate.
I would think you were blessed to have her as she was blessed to have you guys.
So sorry for you on this day. That was a very brave thing for you to do.
You did a wonderful thing for her.
Now I must go and hug my pooch.
Your first princess is free of pain at last. R.I.P., Grendel.
That was a tough thing to do and I can relate. What a beautiful message you wrote.
We also had our three children present a few years back and they understood (ages 5, 8 and 9 at the time).
It's the last gift that you had to give her. Peace.
I am sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry to hear this. Very sad.
So, so sorry! I've been reading along with Grendel's struggle recently. "Devastatingly missed." So poignant and true. Peace to you all, Stephanie
A beautiful post! Your first baby had a long and love-filled life. She is blessed.
