Missing Mallory

On Tuesday, September 29, 2009, our beloved toy poodle, Mallory, left us forever.  She had warmed my lap and my heart for 12 years, and I miss her terribly.

The precious gift our pets give us is unconditional love, so rarely available from our human companions.  No wonder their loss affects us so deeply!

In my sadness, I reached out to my fellow quilters in the Stashbusters group.  I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from these wonderful women, all of them total strangers to me.

Though Mallory was just a tiny little pooch, losing her has left an enormous hole in my heart.  All the kind expressions of sympathy offered by family, friends, and the quilting community have shown me that there is an infinite supply of love in the world, more than enough to fill that hole, if I just leave my heart open.

I know this is an older post, but the content really resonated with me. I've also lost a dog who was so much more than a dog; she was a furry shoulder to cry on, a paw to hold, a warm presence on the end of my bed each night, a joyful welcome on my return home. She forced me up and out of the house, into the park and the sunshine. I wouldn't have gone on my own but I cared so much more about her needs than mine. She got me moving, into fresh air and around people, all so important for recovery from depression. I miss her even all these years later, but try to get as much 'canine therapy' as I can! RIP Frances and Mallory. Happy frolicking in green fields under bright blue skies!
