This is a post I never wanted to write, but I feel that so many people got to know her on this blog that I owe it to all of you. Ms. Vespa Mamacita has left the building.
It turns out that her body was busy making a brain tumor or something else in her noggin, and last Thursday she went suddenly, leaving a huge GSD sized hole around us. Knowing that she had a good life for a 10- or 11-year old dog is little consolation right now.
It's too quiet here.
Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this with us readers.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a friend. <3
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry! She was such a beautiful old lady, I loved your posts about her.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am a relatively new reader, but I have enjoyed the pictures of your sweet girl. I am so very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeletesending you big big hugs. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I can't begin to express how badly I feel for you guys. It's so, so difficult to lose a fuzzy baby. My heart is with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. I hope she didn't suffer any pain. Pets are family. It's always hard to lose one.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Vespa. I enjoyed her beautiful face in your posts. I know you loved her deeply and we loved her through your words and images.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you! Our thoughts and prayers are sent out for you. Our furry babies hold special places in our hearts. And in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about poor Vespa. I've been reading your blog for some time and she sounded like a wonderful companion. I hope that you can keep hold of the happy hours with her in the midst of your sadness at her going.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for your thoughtful words. We're still mourning over here, especially Mingus, but time is the best cure for loss. We'll get through this.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so so sorry! Love and schnuzzles to all.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I lost two of my fur babies this year and even though they were both well into their double digits, it didn't make me feel any better.
ReplyDelete*huggles*
I'm very sorry for your loss - she seemed like such a lovely dog.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I don't know what to say. Being a dog person, I'm tearing up. It's like a feeling of being thunderstruck, isn't it? A quiet boom and then silence. I am so sorry. Your blog just won't be the same without that goofy mug.
ReplyDeleteI'm raising my cup of coffee to good old Vespa - may that pup rest in peace!
I'm so sad for you and will truly miss reading stories involving Vespa. Rest well, beautiful girl.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well. Just checking in - things still feeling kind of empty around there? I was just watching my dog chew up an old ice cream container into a million little sticky pieces - from the recycling bin and I don't feel like yelling at her but it put you and yours in my mind.
ReplyDeleteHope the sun is shining where you are.
Oh, no.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked my Google Reader in ages and am simply heartbroken for you as I sit here in tears.
I will miss seeing Vespa and her big 'ole GSD rabbit ears in your posts.
How is Mingus doing now?
I lost dog#6, Ms Trixie, almost 6 months ago. Have had 1 dog per decade, so far. I still miss her ears and the way she wagged her whole body. Perhaps this can be consolation to you, a magnet on my frig : "To you he's a dog. To me he's an adopted child who is short, hairy, and doesnt speak clearly. I have no trouble with any of those things."
ReplyDeleteohhhh.....so sorry....I lost my Ms Trixie last spring, still miss stroking her floppy ears, and the way she wagged her whole body. Perhaps this can help, its on my frig : "To you he's a dog. To me he's a child who is short, hairy, walks on all fours, and doesnt speak clearly. I have no problem with any of those things".
