Romeo

[peachydays]

My dearest little Romeo,

Where do I begin? You've been gone two days now and I still can't believe it.

I know you're free from pain now, but I still miss you so much. I never thought that I wouldn't see you again when I dropped you off for your filing. I wish I had held you one last time, and not just given you scritches.

You were such a fighter. You came from a terrible situation, but you still persevered. The fact that after coming from what you did, you were still so sweet and friendly....is amazing to me. It humbles me. Thank you for showing me that even when there can be so much bad in the world, it's still possible to trust.

I wish we had more time together, but it was not meant to be.

I love you, and will never forget you.

I hope you are romping in chinnie heaven with Gregory, Ralph, and all the other chins who have gone on.

Loving you and missing you, my little Mr. Grumpy Pants.

What an amazing gift you were able to give each other. I am so sorry for your loss, but happy you were able to spend the time with him that you did. RIP Romeo.

Thank you, all.

It never gets easier to lose them. Knowing that eventually the pain I feel right now won't be so raw doesn't make it any easier to go through.

Today I spoke with the lady from the rescue that I adopted him from, and I will be donating his fleece set to them. They have a network of foster homes that the chins and other animals stay at while they wait for their forever homes. I wanted his set to go to go to other little chins in need, and I think Romeo would have liked that too.

These are two short stories about Romeo and his fellow chins that were rescued:

Katie, I took him in for a dental filing, and he wasn't able to make it out through the anesthesia. I don't know exactly how old he was, since he came from a rescue. The vet said he may have been much older than we would have thought, since sometimes when they're older they have trouble handling anesthesia.
