just a few thought from Abby

saying goodbye to my mommy

about a week ago my human mommy passed away. she had been sick of a long time with something dawn (my sister in law) calls cancer. dawn said the doctors couldn't do anything else so they let her come stay at their house. me and my brother kitt katt (the cat)came to live with my human brother john and his wife dawn and their 2 dogs buttons and cloey. some stranger came and put a bed and a noisy box thing that dawn said is something to help her breathe. then later that day they brought her in a big van thing with lights on top. it had doors on the back and they opened them up and brought her out on a board thing. after she had been there awhile dawn put me on the bed and let me see her. she smelled "different" then she had before. i could tell things were not right. i tried to cuddle up to her side and show her i loved her but i kept hurting her so dawn took me down off the bed. the next few days were rough on us all.there were so many people who came and went but that part was ok because i loved all the lovin' i got. on her last night her breathing had changed and 2 ladies, dawn called them hospice nurses, came and stayed for a few hours. a long time went by and everybody started crying. i think i knew then that she had left and gone on to a better place. i miss my mommy a lot. she was always so sweet to me and took me in when no one else wanted me. i think sometimes that our human family forgets that when someone dies it affects us dogs too. even though i miss her i think i am settling in to my new home pretty well and i think maybe i have found a new mommy and daddy... and 2 sisters. we all love each other and i think i will be very happy after i don't miss my old mommy as much.
