My best girl & companion crossed the rainbow bridge
She was 16, and i knew it was coming, as she had been declining. But gosh, that doesnt make it easier.
Pipkin was a 4 lb sable mini-pomeranian named after the littlest rabbit in Watership Down, one of my favorite books. She was very springy like a bunny, which is how the name occurred to me.
I've lived in seven states, relocating for my career, sometimes completely alone, save this dog.
She lived in five with me, (because she hadnt been born yet while i was in the other two)--so travel was part of her dna.
Sometimes I was so lonely, she went with me on every single errand, even the smallest. When you're 4 lbs and quiet you can go anywhere, we discovered.
I do, and will, miss her terribly. Dogs are angels.
