Our baby girl

We called her Cricket because when she was a puppy she bounced through the grass.

Cricket, is gone.

I miss her jumping with excitement simply because I’m home from work, and at night when she snuggled in my arm alongside me in bed as we fell asleep together in security and comfort.

She’s not here to gently tap my face with a soft, insistent paw to tell me she’s hungry or thirsty or needs to go outside.

She’ll never lick my nose again to comfort me when I’m sad.

Our baby girl died Thursday.

If you ever had a dog that could make your eyes tear up for no reason but your mutual love; a dog who could lift you from the depths of sadness and pain by simply nudging your face with a cold nose and bright eyes, you are a believer.

For me God has the face and the eternal, unqualified love of a Yorkie named Cricket.

She crawled inside my soul and will live there forever.

  1. I am so sorry for your loss. I have two Yorkies, and know how they can capture your heart. I know you and your family have many memories of Cricket to take with you. God bless.
