Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Made a cake!

Good afternoon everyone.

My room feels so empty. My room is the last with carpet still and it is where Gracie spent most of her time the last few years. She had arthritis and she did not feel comfortable walking on the slick floors. She should be in her spot between my bedside and my computer chair refusing to move and making me walk overtop of her if I needed to walk around it for something. I'm still in disbelief that she is gone. Mom took the dogs on a walk down to the horse ring yesterday morning. It had rained all day and throughout the night so the creek was up. She sat on the bleachers for a hour and let them play in the creek since we were going to give them a bath yesterday. Gracie swam to her hearts content and got filthy without being scolded for it. On their way back home in front of my next door neighbors another neighbor was leaving. Mom said he was crawling and she had the dogs in my neighbors yard behind her. Gracie did something she had not done since she was a pup, came out of a sit and bolted in front of my neighbor's car. Mom could not stop her and my neighbor could not stop in time and he hit her. Mom is a wreck, my neighbor is a wreck and really, the rest of us are in the same shape. CeeCee is lost without Gracie. She is just laying in the living room, awake but whining. She refused to eat yesterday and her food bowl is still untouched. 22 years, for over 22 years I have had at least one Golden Retriever in my life and it feels so wrong now that I do not have one.

Oh Rebecca, I am so very sorry. I can only imagine how empty the place feels and how sad everyone is feeling.
You have had a lot of sadness to handle recently and my heart goes out to you.
She was a beautiful dog - and I say that as a cat person - and I know you will all miss her terribly.
Easy to say, but try to remember the good times and that her last day on this earth was a happy one.

Words can't express how hard it is to lose a dog, especially when it can't be blamed on a particular sickness or failing. She had a wonderful last day, and was happy when she left. I know she left a hole for you and your family, and that can't be filled, but remember that you have CeeCee and she needs you. Put all the love you don't know what to do with into her. Just know, that Gracie is up with Grandma, keeping her company.

I am very sorry. We've lost 4 dogs and 3 granddogs in the last 7 years. They always leave an empty spot in your heart.

She was a gorgeous dog. I'm so sorry you lost her

My friends dog did the same thing. A lot of us were heartbroken.

You'll have wonderful memories my friend and she went quickly.
