Saying Goodbye to a Special Friend

My little couch potato friend who wrote this blog with me, our little Chocolate girl, went to the vet one last time at 2:30 a.m.   

She'd just turned eleven on April tenth but her quality of life had seriously deteriorated over the last few months despite excellent vet care and all the love (and medication) we could give.  So there'll be one less bloom in my garden for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day tomorrow. 

A Prayer 

by Alfred Noyes

Angels where you soar 

Up to God's own light,

Take my own lost bird

On your hearts tonight;

And as grief once more 

Mounts to heaven and sings,

Let my love be heard 

Whispering in your wings.
