Just this week, our family lost our longtime furry member. I haven’t been so overwhelmed for such a long time and cried for days. I can’t even remember the last time I felt this sad. That morning, I woke up to my mother crying and I just knew what happened. The days after that moment I remember our home being so silent, and until now we have been trying to adjust to it. It’s a strange feeling doing a routine with her for 16 years, then having to wake up the next day to suddenly stop doing it. On one of the following mornings I was hanging around the TV room with my parents before I headed off to work. We were talking about how much we missed her and our TV starts playing this old video of Caramel doing tricks. I figured one of us must’ve turned it on with airplay but non of us did, let alone change the input of the TV to do that. We all began to bawl our eyes out more, but for some reason I felt some sort of comfort as if she was trying to tell us that she was alright. Some people might find that a little spooky but ever since that happened I’ve felt a lot less sad and more accepting of her passing. She lived a long joyful life of a princess and she knew how much we loved her. I honestly think she wanted us to remember her like she was in that video, healthy, perky and just happy. I think she wanted to tell us she was alright. Caramel is what brought our family together, she was the one getting all the attention and often the conversation starter after a long day at work. I don’t think I can put into words how much I love this dog. I hope you get to eat unlimited chicken bones and ice cream cones in doggy heaven. We miss you Caramel, love you <3 rest in peace puppy.
