remembering angel kibbles

before bailey, there was kibbles, my heart dog, and today marks another year without her. i found kibbles, a scrawny little dachshund mix, at a local shelter in 1995.

1995-2010

she was the smartest little dog i've ever known. she understood everything i said and even things i didn't say. it was like she could read my mind. she was sweet and gentle and full of life and i loved her more than anything.

in november of 2009, my beautiful little girl was diagnosed with kidney disease. that was the beginning of the end because 2 months after that she was diagnosed with cancer and just like that, she was gone. she was my once-in-a-lifetime dog and my heart still aches for her.

kibbles was such a sweetheart, i have no doubt she's been sitting patiently at the bridge, just waiting for aoife to join her. i can just imagine how happy she was to see her again. and since there is no illness in doggie heaven, they can run around and play, just like they used to.

indoor sunset

as the setting sun envelops bailey with it's soothing rays,

she fades into a peaceful slumber.

i love to watch her sleep

profile of an apple head #tot

i am in love with bailey's profile. she has the perfect little apple head. i'm not teasing her. that's the type of chihuahua she is. (aoife, may she rest in peace, was a deer head.)

an apple head also has bulgy eyes, a short snout and a 90 degree stop.
