I love you Hope (Tribute Piece)
One of my childhood dogs, Hope, crossed the rainbow bridge this morning surrounded by her loved ones.
I don’t really get personal here but I feel the need to share this.

that sucks, hope you find peace with your loss.
I lost one of my cats some four or five years ago, a big, mean, still-slightly-feral one that my older brother found by a creek shortly after we moved. My brother took him home and somehow convinced our mon to let us keep him, somehow. He was grouchy and mean to most people except me, my brother, and my sister and has been with us until he got too old i guess. I still find it crazy that my older brother happened to be at the right time and place to find that cat, as well as overcoming the other great oddity of having mom tolerate an animal. and that peculiar chance, or maybe luck, was something that gave me some comfort in dealing with the loss.
People are different in how they deal with things, maybe this tribute is all you need. I found it easier as i reflected on the pleasant memories and contemplated the chances of some events lining up just right, so maybe thinking about that can help you too.

I know this is a bit of a late response but thank you.
Sometimes it really just a matter of the right time and place. Hell when we first got her it was at a gigantic adoption event where she, as a 7 month old puppy, was seated on the ground scared shitless with all the commotion and my mother just couldn’t leave her. With our other dog, who is still alive and healthy, approaching us and immediately staying with my family. Both dogs happened to be perfect matches with our family and we couldn’t leave with just one (even though my mother never wanted a “small” dog, but Hope was just so good natured)
Hell our newest rescue puppy came to us this august. Me and my mother wanted a puppy because we noticed that our dogs were really starting to slow down - Hope especially with her graying face and gimpy leg. Our new rescue pup came to us at the right time thou since he’s really been helping us get through all of this, he’s a sweetheart but also an absolute hilarious nutcase. We thought we had more time with her but she just fell off so quickly and it wouldnt have been fair to keep her alive for our sake.
Im trying to keep the good memories in mind but all I can think about was how she was suffering by the end.
