Goodbye Beautful Punpunya

[Isabel964]

Such a beautiful girl

You came to us as a puppy 15 years ago

The sweetest most amazing kelpie

Full of all things good

You enriched our lives with your golden heart full of love

Loved by humans, dogs and cats...even a sulphur crested cockatoo at one point

We'd take you big ovals and you'd run like the wind, so fast in big figure 8s, again and again

It was beautiful

You loved leaping into the back of the car, for errands, for any road trips

Your beautiful face often out the window, feeling the wind on your ears

We explored all the Melbourne dog beaches together

And different parks

We liked going to the one in the ranges with the tall trees and the kookaburras

We'd go down the great ocean road, stay in dog friendly cottages

We'd explore towns, have picnics, go for many walks in the beach

Coming home to you every day to see your joyous lovely face was special

You were so loyal

You never needed to walk on a lead

You were so clever and intuitive

You grew older and then old

And you did to very beautifully

You felines siblings would groom your face

When you passed away, little Atticus came and rubbed his head affectionately against yours, so beautiful

Our family will miss you more than words can say

We are so full of love for you

Thank you for being such a good girl

You were just so wonderfully pure in spirit and perfectly huggable

I know your last night was a bit rough at times

I held you all you night in my arms

Covering you with my tears

And when our favourite vet came in the morning and let you go peacefully to the rainbow bridge, in your bed where we lay together

You were surrounded by your entire family who will continue to love you

Love you forever

RIP beautiful Punpunya

That was such a beautiful tribute to a special girl. Your family gave her the most special and unselfish gift on her last day, and although her last night was painful,she knew that she was wrapped in your hearts and your arms, and in your love, and her last gift to you was proving to you absolutely that she was ready to go.

RIP Punpunya,

The old girl felt her worn and tired muscles relax and her pain dissolve.

She drew in a long, soft breath and relaxed a little more as the familiar, loving scent of her people, filled her lungs. Memories of them rushed through her brain and warmed her heart.

"A collage of happy images and tender days."

She felt their soft touches against her fur. Their hands sent a tactile message of their gratitude and their love. She felt the warmth atop her head and neck and blinked and saw their faces streaked with tears.

"Don't cry for me or feel sad."

She heard them as she shut her eyes. They said her name and the "good girl" words, through their pain and sorrow. In her mind, her tail wagged to tell them that she heard. And understood.

"Good bye, my Hearts."

She is standing in a meadow, near a stream. The sky is fiercely blue. She hears the song of many birds and smells the growing grass. Her legs are strong. Her eyes are clear. She begins to walk toward a brightly colored bridge, far off on the horizon, but pauses for a moment and looks back.

"Thank you. Until the day we walk together once again."

She turns and wags her thick strong tail and runs. And runs.

Sleep well, sweet Punpunya.

A beautiful tribute to the very finest of girls. I love how even a cockatoo thought so.

She sure was much loved & always will be, in your hearts.
