Farewell To Two Friends
.
This week, I lost two Blogville friends.
Maggie made frequent appearances on Sue’s blog, Graceful Greyhounds. Maggie was Sue’s dad’s Staffie and faithful friend to Song and Polly. I fell in love the first time I saw her sweet, dear face.
Blueberry was one of the first Greyhounds I met in Blogville when I started reading Tales and Tails. She was sister to Bunny, Morgan and Kuster.
If you would like to leave a condolence message, you may do so here for Maggie and here for Blueberry.
Heaven is richer and we are poorer with the passing of these two darlings. Rest in peace, Maggie and Blueberry.
I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as we are called one by one,
the chain will link again.

Thank you for your sweet words about Miss Blue. She really was a one of a kind Greyhound. I still can’t believe I had eleven wonderful years with her, or that she’s gone. So many people have reached out to us and been so kind. It appears that Blueberry left me with a wealth of friends for consolation.
It’s always heartbreaking when our pets go to the bridge.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Best wishes to their families. They are both gorgeous dogs.
Lori, Thank you so much for your post about Maggie.
Lovely to see Blueberry being honoured as well.
Our fur babies aren’t with us for long enough, but as that beautiful verse says the chain will link again.
Sorry to read about Maggie and Blueberry. So sad. We wish their peoples well.
Best wishes Molly
We didn’t know Maggie, but it is always sad to lose a beloved furry. We did know Blueberry and are so sad to see her crossing too. Soft woos and gentle hugs to both families.

A very sad week in Blogville. The poem is very nice.
We are so sorry to hear about your friends…we will be stopping by their blogs this morning.

So sad.

That really is a beautiful poem. It’s amazing how we get so attached to people and their pets who we are never likely to meet yet we feel like we know them so well.
