My "shadow" and best friend is gone...
« on: May 15, 2011, 06:19 AM »
While staying over at a friends house, Liberty was hit by a car last night and passed.
I cannot believe it. We would have picked her up tomorrow and now she is gone.

She will run free beyond the rainbow bridge.

We will miss you and will never forget the joy you brought into our lives. The time we got to spend with you was way too short.

Oh Marion --- way too short. You must be devastated. I was just thinking about you the other day as we will be visiting Lewiston in a couple of weeks. I send you huge hugs. :'(

I am so sorry for your loss.  It must have been particularly hard for you not being there to comfort her at the end.

Thank you.
Not being there was probably the worst. I was so happy to see her again soon and now this... My friend feels horrible and now I have to comfort her...

Thank you so much Judie... It feels good to know that there are people that are thinking of us and know what we are going through.
So far we still don't know what exactly happened last night. I hope we will soon.  :'(

Marion,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know the time you had with Liberty was short but that didn't make it any less special. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you all so much!! It is slowly starting to sink in that, when I come back home, Liberty won't be there to greet me...
And the most horrible thing is that it all happened because apparently some stranger took her off the leash and thought he could call her back. I am so angry you won't believe it.

Thanks to all of you.
