So sorry for the loss of your special girl. Your story of her life with you was wonderful. Take care. My thoughts are with you.

: Today, sadly, we let Miss Bonnie go.
: Bonnie came to us just when we needed her,
: after the loss of both Duncan and Scotty.
: She raised Kirk's spirits as well as ours.
: She moved right in and became the Queen of
: the household. Whenever anyone entered the
: room she would stamp a foot and woof
: "Hey come pet me!" My daughters
: instantly fell in love with her, Morgan in
: particular. More often than not, I would
: find my youngest daughter curled up on the
: couch with Bonnie. During the day, while the
: girls were at school, she would snuggle up
: with Kirk always keeping a watchful ear. But
: don't think Bonnie did nothing but hold down
: the couch! She came with us to Meet the
: Breed events and any local dog shows--she
: never wanted to be left behind. I am sure
: she remembered her own show days and she
: enjoyed the trips. But in recent weeks it
: became clear that our Grande Dam was
: starting to fade away. She was just getting
: tired and her age was catching up to her.
:
: Yesterday the girls picked out special
: Webkinz that named after her-- Bonnie Beaver
: and Cherry Blossom Bonnie. They sat and
: hugged Bonnie with the dolls to get some of
: Bonnie's love inside so they would always
: have it close by. This morning Bonnie laid
: on the front lawn and waited for the school
: busses with the girls. Veronica sang our
: "Kirkus McGurkus" song to Bonnie.
: Bonnie's line goes "Bonnie's the Queen
: Bee, she woofs Hey come pet me!" Both
: girls gave her special hugs and kisses
: knowing that she wouldn't be there when they
: got home.
:
: When Bonnie first came to live with us she
: was 9 and I remember telling the girls
: "We don't know how long we will have
: Bonnie but we will make the time she spends
: us as happy as we can make it be for
: her". We are getting ready to bring a
: new pup home on Sunday and it occurs to me
: that not only did Bonnie come to us just
: when we needed her but she stayed with us
: for as long as we needed her too. You can't
: ask anymore of a dog than that.
:
: We loved her so and she deserves all the
: tears we've shed today and the ones we'll
: shed in the coming days. We will never
: forget everything she did for us but we know
: it was time for her to rest. Thank you so
: much Miss Bonnie-Bons for every moment you
: spent with us.
