Godspeed, Sweet Skittle


Guest Tenderhearts

Recommended Posts

Oh DeVon and Amber, my heart is breaking for you. Your Skittle Diddle was one of a kind. You did not fail her. You did everything you could. We will all miss her so much, but no where near as much as you will. :grouphug:weep

This poem by W.H. Auden expresses grief better than anything I've ever read.

 

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum

Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

 

 

Let the airplanes circle moaning overhead

Scribbling on the sky the message She is Dead

Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

Let the traffice policeman wear black cotton gloves.

 

She was my NOrth, my South, my East and West,

My working week and my Sunday rest,

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;

I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

 

Thed stars are not wanted now: put out every one;

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun:

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Missing my sweet girl Scout. My snuggler, my chow-hound, my kissy girl.
It never thunders at the Bridge, and your food bowl is ALWAYS filled.

So strange not living in Atty World. I was a love struck handmaiden to your every whim.

I am so, so very sorry for your loss. Skittle was a beautiful girl who deserved every bit of love you gave her. She had a full happy life because of you & that is no small accomplishment.

 

Rest easy, sweet Skittle and send some fruitbat fairy dust down to Devon & Amber. :f_pink

Oh, no. I am so sorry. I lost my Crooked girl last June and I felt like I failed her, too. But I didn't and you didn't fail Skittles, either. She knows how much you loved her and that is what mattered the most to her. Please don't beat yourself up. You helped make her the dog that she grew up to be and you should be proud of that.

 

Hugs to you and to Amber.

Oh Devon :grouphug I wish I knew the words to help mend your broken heart, but there are none. Thank you so much for sharing so much of Skittle's life with us, she touched so many on this board and brought so many smiles to so many.

 

 

Godspeed Skittle, you were so loved and will be missed beyond description

I'm so sorry. I was just getting to know her from your posts. May the happy memories comfort you all in the days ahead.

The best comfort I can add is that you were with her at the very end... she died being loved in the fullest... Her last breath you took together... My first two passed 11 days apart in 2005 and I held them in my arms as they took their last breath. I'm Buddhist and that is one of the most precious moments in the cycle of life... Death is no end... your relationship has simply changed... love lives on forever...

:weep:weep I'm in tears. I always love the stories about Skittles, the Albino Fruitbat. Special prayers for you and Amber. I guess Lori Ann needed her more than you did.
