And just like that, she’s gone

[J_sarahd]

Nova went this morning, fat and happy with a belly full of treats and grass.

Although our time together was short, she taught me so much. She was sharp and sensitive but she had the most beautiful personality - like a big overgrown labrador.

She tried so hard, too. Considering how much pain she must’ve been in, she always wanted to please. I’m gutted that we never got to go cross country together, because I imagine she would’ve loved it. She was so honest the handful of times we jumped. She only ever said no a couple of times.

I could tear myself apart thinking of all the times I missed her telling me she was in pain. But I don’t want to remember that. I want to remember the happy memories - like how jolly she was out hacking.

She gave me a light in my life when I was at my worst. And I hope, in return, by giving her this final gift of peace, I’m paying her back.

RIP Nova, you really were something special.
