Our beloved best friend, companion, biggest part of the family....Sharon.....was PTS this morning at 6.55am....
Words cannot describe the pain we are feeling just now. She was peaceful all night and around about 4am she took a turn for the worse and the vet was called....
Yesterday she woke up like it was a normal morning...full of life. We went out to the horses and she was bouncing round with a big grin on her face...and her bit of "straw". She then went round the sheep with my OH and enjoyed bringing in the lambs.....however late last night and this morning you could see the life ebbing away in her eyes...
I sat with her the whole night, speaking to her and stroking her head and ears (as she loved that). This morning I spoke with her and held her while the vet did what she had too. She slipped peacefully away....
Sharon LOVED to pick up straw...as the pictures below show....she used to pick up a piece and then run backwards while trying to bark.....this was what everyone loved about her.....her uniqueness....
The vet told us the timing was perfect for her.....and that we had done everything possible for her.........and I take comfort in the fact that she enjoyed her whole day yesterday with my OH going round the fields etc.....almost like doing her last rounds...
Sharon was my best friend......she was always by my side and at the moment I just cannot imagine life without her........already its quiet..... Her friend Megan looks lost, so will be comforting her just now.....
Sharon has been buried next to her mum, Kim, and best friend Mist. We also buried her with her "bit of straw"...as that was a big part of her life. We are going to buy a memorial stone to put with them all.....as for us its truely the end of an era...
Sharon you were my heart and a big part of me has gone with you...........you will be missed by everyone........rest in peace my best friend......run pain free over the rainbow bridge....
I came across the following poem...which I want to dedicate to Sharon:
I Stood Beside Your Bed Last Night
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
" It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew ...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over ...I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.
Sharon.....missing you already.....you mum......xxx
Sleep well my baby....
