I remember the phone call like it happened yesterday, a friend called me and said we got a dog in I think you should come look at her. I remember seeing her for the first time sitting there shaking, cowering as I walked in and sat down on the floor it only took her a couple minutes to warm up enough to come over to see me and from there we were Inseparable and we both new it. She was my Shot-Gun-Rider, my late night movie watcher, the one who I told all my secrets too, took afternoon naps with and the one who Lulled me to sleep with the loudest snoring I have ever heard in my entire life ( but believe me after a while you do get used to it ).
Two and a half yrs. of endless conversations, hours of TV watching, afternoon naps, road trips to baseball & football games but on Sept. 11th, we made a trip to the vet for what I thought was a kidney or bladder infection turned into a lengthy exam that led to X-rays which lit-up like a Christmas tree … Beatrice had cancer and it was everywhere. I was beyond devastated I really couldn’t comprehend much of what the vet was saying after that.
I got 77 days with Beatrice, she crossed the Rainbow Bridge December 7th, 2019, and to this day my life is so Empty, my room is so deafening quiet at night I can hardly sleep. She was such a Blessing we were definitely robbed of many many years together but she Loved me Unconditionally for the time she was here and my life has Forever been changed because of her.
