Guest FullMetalFrank Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Last Saturday, during our lure coursing trial, they did a special "Running of the 4th Hound" to celebrate the lives of coursing hounds who had passed during the year; we placed some of Chelsa's ashes on the bag and watched as she went around one last time; tiny puffs of her ashes could be seen as she went around the corners.... I held a photo of her, from her 10th birthday, and Gene clutched her special Chanel collar I'd made for her. I can hardly even describe it even now, without a flood of tears. I can only hope it was a fitting Remembrance for a dog who was so incredibly special; I miss you, every day I miss you... If you can hear me, send us a sign, please, sweety? I love you...

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 D@mn it I miss her so much... Tomorrow it will be a month. It hurts; almost more than I can bear. It always hurts; every time I have lost a hound I swear it can't get any worse; but this little one really did a number on me when she sneaked into my home and my heart and my... life! She was Gene's girl; sure she was. He was the one who wanted a girl. Yep. I'll just stick with my big boy hounds... So if he was the one I was worried about; "how will he get on with her gone?" then why am I sitting here in a puddle of tears because a favorite picture came up on my screen? Why does every art project I try to do eventually end up with angel wings and Chelsa and clouds and me, in tears? Why can't I get over feeling so cheated by the unseen evil that took her from me? Why couldn't I save her? Chelsa used to nuzzle her little head into my neck when we slept; sometimes... Other times she'd whack me in the face with her paw because I was taking up too much of HER down pillow. And she could whack really hard! There was no in-between with her. She was all in, all the time. If she was napping, it was an Olympic event. That was what her life was like. And when she got sick, she couldn't do things her way anymore. I would have been happy to be her nursemaid for how ever many years if she could have held on; but that was not Chelsa's way. I guess, this time, what I wanted really didn't matter at all; and maybe that is why I am struggling so much with this. She and I were just alike; stubborn and used to getting things the way we wanted them. Not that she wanted to leave us; but she was unwilling to compromise and so ready to go, when it was time. Dear God, I hope I have an ounce of her courage when it's my time. I love you, Chelsada Tostada, my sweet little bean head; take care of the boys, I will keep Daddy safe and make sure NonBon and Jewels don't ever steal your special place (that's a joke, little one, like that could ever happen.) And don't worry, I'll take good care of them, too. I hope to have many stories to tell, when I see you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
