MP_the4pack Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Topaz was my first Bridge girl. 12/21/1999. She was only 5. But she left quite the legacy: Onyx was adopted 3 weeks after I lost Topaz. She smiled like Topaz and had a gemstone name. Pearl came 2 years later. I searched for a silly goofy b/w girl ever since I lost Topaz. I found her in Pearl. Diamond came 2 months later because she was Pearl's littermate. Opal came after 2 more years, because she was a wild b/w girl. Jade, another goofy w/b girl came when I lost Pearl, Diamond and Onyx. Then came Crystal, Topaz's niece. Who I lost 18 days later. Then Tanzanite when I had to give Jade back. Another w/b girl. Bubbles is my current w/b goofball. I still think of her often and wonder what her life would have been like if liver disease hadn't stolen her away from me. Miss you, my Punkin Pie.

ramonaghan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Losing her at 5 is so deeply unfair (and I don't want to think about it with Willa). But what a wonderful legacy indeed.

MP_the4pack Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 I made a mistake. She died in 1999, she was born in 1993. She passed before her birthday. I have 4 greys that were not linked to Topaz somehow: Emerald, Cee Magic, Snowflake and Bada (my little meat farm survivor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
