Farewell, Constance.
March 24th, 2009
I write this now with a heavy heart. It is Tuesday night and I am writing this in advance as tomorrow I know I shall not be in the mood for talking.
By the time this is posted, Constance will be on her way to a new life and a new home with new friends and new adventures. She will be greatly missed as she was such a loyal and funny companion. You have never seen a dog jump so high or bury so many bread crusts in the flowerbeds. You have never seen a dog climb a tree to catch a squirrel either. She was one of a kind and I pray that she is rehomed quickly and that her next owners still call her Connie. I named her Connie Brambles as she seemed to have an addiction for brambles to get stuck in as she chased birds through them.
Tonight (or last night by the time this will be read) we had some goodbye cuddles with her after dinner and it was a very heart warming moment. She has come a long way and I am proud to let her go knowing that she is an amazing little character with a big heart. I wish Nay and I had our own house so we could take her instead so my parents wouldn’t have to take her back, but sometimes things can’t work out. Who knows, maybe when we do have a house we’ll track Connie down and bring her back. That’d be lovely to have her as our own, but she needs a place where she can stay and I wouldn’t want to remove her from a happy home and put another family through this pain. She deserves a place to permanently stay for the rest of her happy life.
We’ll miss you Connie, and just like we named you, we hope you will find constant love because you’ll always hold a place in our hearts. [:
