It's been a year since my crazy Loquita Loca passed away. I miss that little dog so much. She should have been with me forever.

She was a beautiful girl; full of mischief and love. Everyone who met her, and many who lived with her through your stories, miss her happy little face.

I wish I could have met the crazy girl.

I'll never forget that time you guys were here and you told me that just closing the door may not be enough if there's a small animal inside lol.

 

Last year we lost so many dogs that had a place in my heart. Loca was one of them. I'm sure she's at the bridge with all our angels, getting into all sorts of trouble there, and teaching some new tricks to all the bridgekids.

Everybody, including me, tends to remember Loca for her crazyness. Today I am also remembering how very perfectly sweet she was -- the best bed buddy ever, the gentlest sleekest greyhound to pet ......

 

She did so much for broodies everywhere. Many of us imagined that an 8 year old brood would be elderly, slow, without personality .... You showed us, didn't you, Loca?

 

I would say "rest well," but I know that wherever she is -- in our hearts, over the bridge -- she is making contradictions and stirring things up, just because.

 

Unforgettable, forever.

I'm so sorry I never got to meet Loca. From your stories, I'm sure the Rainbow Bridge is not the same place since she's there. There are some losses that we never quite get over, and I know that Loca's loss is one of those for you.

:grouphug I'm so sorry for your loss Robin. I never met Loca, but it's obvious that she was very much loved by all that did. That is a gorgeous photo of her too.

Yep, I knew this day was coming. Silly, sweet little Loca, I miss the nose rubs under my coat more than I ever thought possible. :grouphug

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Oh Robin....You know that Miss Loca sent Miss Treasure to you to keep you out of trouble! And to keep you from being lonely for her. When Treasure gets into mischief, its because Miss Loca has whispered in her ear, instigating and encouraging the silliness. I have also had visions of Miss Loca in a doggie thong doing table dances much to the delight of the boys at the bridge. Besides Robin, you and I both know that they are never really gone. They are nestled there, right where they are suppose to be, in the middle of our heart.

Hugs to you , Robin, while I never got to meet Loca in person. Many may remember that its was Loca and Leda who secretly ruled the universe. I am sure they are up to no good at the bridge with Marble, Leda's first general, enforcing.

Send your momma a sign today, Miss Loca, and say hello to my two girls!
