Houndmom Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Last night I said goodbye to a very special gal, Hayley. Although her story is not a long one it is one with a very sad beginning. Thanks to the wonderful people with Monica's Heart, Hayley came into my life back in 2000. She was a classic superspook, emotionally and physically traumatized (this is an absolute), but with a look in her eye that touched your heart in many ways. Her adjustment period was long and at times stressful for all involved but we knew she belonged in our home and with plenty of love and patience Hayley learned to trust us. Although she was always the spook, time healed some of the emotional scars and she grew into a loving, silly, stubborn gal who never missed a thing and was the ever present watchdog in the house. I of course have some silly stories I could share but at the moment I am too sad and tired, and I fear that typing the words will just bring me to tears. But, I do have many wonderful memories of Hayley and although I knew that one day the physical trauma would catch up to her it ended up being much later than sooner so I have had a long and happy life with her in my home. I miss her terribly and my heart is heavy but I know she is at peace, and I am glad that I was with her as she drifted away peacefully in my arms. Farewell my Hayley.....you will always be with me.
