Opals_mom Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thank you ALL for your words and prayers on my post in Health and Medical (I am a blubbering mess) at three this morning. At 11:10 this morning, Opal went to the bridge I have her collar with all her tags hanging from my rear-view mirror. She did more than she'll ever know for me - and I hope I was able to pay her back for that by getting rid of her pain. After she was gone I had the need to put her in a position that she would have layed in at home. I kissed her goofy ears a million more times and smelled her feet for the last time. The smell of her feet is THE GREATEST smell ever - grass and dirt. I wish I could have bottled that up Before we went to the doctor I made a print of her nose and one of her feet. I am going to get them tattooed on me somewhere. I have a bunch of flowers on my arm and I think I might put her nose amongst them. I had a hard time back at home with pieces of her everywhere, but her not there. I am trying my best to remember her good times... like last night. After I cried - A LOT - I got back in bed and made her cuddle with me. I think her and the cat have been hanging out too much because after a bit she got up and turned around so I had to snug with her butt then I told her if she farted I'd kick her butt... so what does she do - fart What a turd! Everytime we would have our talks (about anything) her nose would start to get runnier - I am going to miss her boogers - all over my arms and my legs - That is the reason I always called her Booger Opal - when you left a piece of my heart left, too. I love you and your bratty sister has been sleeping where you bed was. She misses you too - no matter what she says I will see you again! I know you are chasing squirrels and snapping at flies where you are. Keep an eye on me because the rest of my life will never be the same. I love you!!

Guest Carla Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Oh my. How sad. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Saying goodbye to our 4 footed friends is never easy. You gave Opal the gift of love when you send her to the Bridge. She is no longer in pain and she is smiling down upon you thanking you for everything you did for her. Soon your tears will dry and you will have many greyt memories of your dear Opal. She will ALWAYS be with you in spirit. Godspeed Opal.
