Our Boo Berry was very loved and treasured. She left us tonight after almost 17 years. She is with her sisters Precious “Mesho”, Scootie “Tanana”, Daisy Marie and her brother Tiny Bubbles. She was not afraid of anything except car rides and the vet. She did not like being out of the house. She took a piece of my soul with her when she left us. Just so you know Bob and Wendy are wonderful people. When Boo Berry passed I called and Bob answered the phone and was here to pick her up within a short period of time. I felt very comfortable letting him take her back to his place to respectfully end her bodies existence on this earth. Now I will wait to get her ashes back so she can take her place on my desk next to her brother and sisters. No matter how long you have with your babies it is never enough time. It is odd, I have lost human loved ones but they never crushed me (except my Dad) like when I lose one of my fur babies. They are my family and they are with me every day and I am responsible for them. I always feel like some how I let them down when they cross the Rainbow Bridge. Boo Berry is the first baby that passed at home, all of our other babies passed at the vet’s office. I have to say losing Boo Berry at home was better. We were able to give her constant care and tell her constantly how much she was loved. We were with her when she took her last breath so I like to think that she was with us and immediately greeted by her family that left before her. Losing a fur baby (family) is much worse than having a broken heart. It is more like having a piece of the most important part of yourself (your soul) ripped from you. I like to think that is how we will meet up when my time comes to round up all my babies at the Rainbow Bridge and we will be forever happy. To those of you that have lost a loved one, you have my sympathy and compassion because I know how you are feeling. I will feel so much better when my Boo Berry’s remains are returned home never to leave us again. Once again Bob and Wendy seem to be very nice people and I am fairly certain when the time comes for my remaining 2 cats and 4 dogs, I will feel comfortable putting them is their hands.
