Goodbye Krazie

I explained it to St. Peter,
I'd rather stay here
Outside the pearly gate.
I won't be a nuisance,
I won't even bark, I'll be very patient and wait,
I'll be here, chewing on a celestial bone,
No matter how long you may be.
I'd miss you so much, if I went in alone,
It wouldn't be heaven for me.

My friend Krazie crossed over the bridge on 23rd of June.

I had to read the mail twice before the news sank in. How could she have died…she was so young…a year younger than me, in fact.

Buddy had met her fleetingly and Shadow never got to know her. But she was my best girl friend.

We had spent some really good times together while in Hyderabad

Of late, Krazie was having weight gain issues. She had developed arthritis, hypothyroidism and OSAS.

All these are rectifiable issues and we had hoped she would mend and go on to lead a long,healthy life.

But as fate would have it, she left us just too soon.

 Our heart goes out to her fur-brother Mogli and her human-family. It is always the most difficult for the ones who are left behind…..

I will always remember you, my friend.

And I hope you are in a lovely place now, running free…young and healthy once again, and without pain…..

Love always,

Ginger
