Good bye, my love...

Joy 24.04.08 - 07.12.21

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Joy yesterday - we are devastated! Her diarrhea came back and we cared and cooked for her and once more and she started eating again and was doing fine. We went on our old rounds and were all happy, but then she was restless last Sunday night and did not want to eat anymore the next day after a morning snack. I thought I would give her a day of rest and cared for her once more through the next night but she became weaker by the moment. Her heart was still fine but the medication and the diureticum to keep her lungs free, together with probably a severe enteritis was too much and her system broke down. She would have had to go on a drip at the clinic with not much hope and so at least, she was allowed to go to sleep on her bed in our old VW bus, where she spent so many nights on all our travels together. RIP my love! Until we meet again... Cornelia

Dear Cornelia

The tears are streaming down my face right now. I feel so sad for you. Nothing can prepare you when you lose such a precious love. I hope Joy meets up with Hobson and all my English Setters in Heaven. I have a photo of Hobson on my kitchen bench in a silver frame with hearts entwined in the frame and I talk to Hobson every day even though it has now been 5 years and 51 weeks since his passing. I don't care what people may think.

RIP beautiful Joy. We will miss you too. Love from Susan and Misty xxxx

It has been too long since I have logged in to ES, and over a year since we talked about her following her Birthday! I am so very sorry for you and for Silvia also. I hope that your pain will ease with time and that only the beautiful memories of a wonderful life shared, remain. God bless.
