This was a bad week. My son's dog succumbed to, as a yet unknown, toxin. My aching heart has been remembering other pets. My first dogs were the Old English Sheepdogs Ginseng and Rosehips.
Ginseng, I lost in a divorce. Rosehips accompanied me to Belgium. We were staying with a friend who lived on a country road. While working Rosehips got out of the house and was run over by a tractor. I buried her on a farm in Belgium.
After the boys were born we got Corie, a Chocolate Lab, who came with us from Pennsylvania to Alabama. Corie was with us for 14 years until she came down with a sarcoma. We kept her comfortable for six months but finally we had to give her up.
Now we lost Caesar, my son John's Bernese Mountain Dog.
Dogs are great friends but when they leave us with our hearts broken and tears in our eyes.
To Rosehips, Corie and Caesar you are always in my memory.
