Gone

Daisy is gone. And never coming back.

I've looked out the window a thousand times today expecting to see her in the flower bed. Or in the Gator waiting for a ride. But through the tears I see she is gone.

She and Farm Guy got to cuddle one last time last night. They lay in the yard cuddling for over an hour. I am so glad they got that time together.

We will miss you, Daisy.

    She was a very sweet, loving girl. You gave her a good home. Remember how dorky she looked when Farm Guy found her? Like some kind of weird dingo rabbit eared dog lol. Thanks for posting about her.

    Oh dear - I'm so sorry to hear she's gone. These darn pets pull these heart strings and become part of the family and it's so hard to see them go.

    May memories of her bring a smile to your face and warm your heart.

    How sad to hear you lost a faithful pet. What a sweet looking dog. I got an email once about a little boy asking his mother why people live so much longer than dogs. Her answer was that dogs don't need to live as long as we do because they come into the world knowing how to love unconditionally while it takes people many, many years to learn how.

    I think that is that hardest, to care about something and then it is gone. I hope the kids are doing alright. Too bad it wasn't Jackie the cow.

    Thanks so much for all your kind words. The kids are pretty much oblivious. They just think Daisy ran off and they are okay with that. The most difficult time of the day for us is our evening Gator ride. Daisy loved the Gator. So hopefully they have Gators in Heaven. :)

    I'm sorry to hear about Daisy, it's hard to loose those lovable little family members.
    I hope your all doing ok.
    I think sometimes it's harder on us adults than it is on the kids, but I know it's sad for them also.
    Hang in there I'm prayin for gators in heaven to!

    Thanks, ladies. I get sad when we are outside and see the other 2 dogs. Then I get sad for them. Then I see the Gator and get sad for Daisy. But then the kids do something crazy and take my mind off of being sad. Kids are great like that.
