2 Years On.....

[SpikesPuppy]

It's been 2 years today since Miss Timothy crossed The Bridge and not a day goes by that I don't think about her, that I don't wish I could stroke her velvet ears just one more time.

She was with me for almost half my life. I still remember bringing her home, all scrawny and terrified. I remember her teenage years where she needed hours of excercise just to relax. I remember going to obedience classes with her, struggling to get through the basics but once her mind matured, she 'got' it.

I remember her saving the life of the dumped kitten, I remember the morning she escaped from our yard and I got a phone call from the person who had found her........ she was old, disoriented and her hips were giving out but she still ran to the train station where we would meet my mum each evening.

I miss her sooo much. But I know she is with me, watching over me, keeping me safe.

Gosh I can't believe it's been two years since she passed on. RIP Miss Timothy... beautiful girl.

I can hardly believe it's been 2 years myself. I often sit back and wonder how I've made it this far without her. Of course, the dogs I have by my side tonight are wonderful in their own right but sometimes......... a dog or any other animal, has a very special presence, even if they are longer physically here with us.

I still have her kennel in the yard, and although it is in excellent condition, I still cannot bear to allow the others to use it. Perhaps when Ziva has her first litter I might use it in the puppy run....... Tim may not have been always good with other dogs (fear aggressive) but she was always faultless with puppies. She was a big, strong active girl but always knew how to be gentle with the youngsters. I must scan some of the pictures I have of her playing with Caber when he was a wee man.

Thank you, Clover and Blacklab :rolleyes:
