A candle shines tonight in the window, another furchild has learned to fly. A small star shines a little brighter having earned it's own special soul. The furchildren at the bridge are restless, looking toward the dark forest, for tonight they once again welcome back one of their own. Soft little steps, so light, so slow are heard in the rustling leaves. A bounce, a bound, so hesitant at first. A soft chuckle, like the sound of the whispering wind....another bounce....four strong little legs, a wiggle and then a pandamonium of weasel war dances occur as Babushka bursts in all wiggles and chuckles. No longer old and tired, no longer sick and lame, she dances the wild weasel war dances with the rest of her kind. She leaps and runs....and for a moment stops and listens. Listens for her friend that she left behind but she knows that in her little heart that it's not Pooka's time but also knows that soon they will both share wild dances under the moonlit sky. Run wild and free little one, your time here is done, I cry for my loss but rejoice in your freedom. I miss you so little one, my tiniest one. A piece of me runs with you, but I know you're always with me, in the breeze that stirs and plays in the leaves, I need only close my eyes and you will be there. Be free my little one, Goodbye my sweet little Babushka, goodbye.

Oh, Heather! I am so sorry to hear about this I know she was old, but that doesn't seem to matter, does it. Dook on, sweet girl, and enjoy your freedom!

Heather,
I am so sorry for your loss. You always have such beautiful words when one of us loses a baby... I wish that I could offer you the same but I am just not that gifted.
Please know that I have three candles burning (one for Babushka and two for Tako's babies) and prayers have been said for your girl and for your family.
Blessings, Jackie, Bandit, Fritzie and Zonker

Poor Babushka I'm with Jackie. I wish I could write like you as well. You always write such pretty things for other peoples companion losses. They make me tear up, but this one made me cry hard. You are truly gifted. You were both blessed to be in each others lives. Your companionship was meant to be, and it will never be forgotten. She couldn't have had a better caretaker than you. Many hugs and good energy your way, and now she's waiting to once again reunite with you and her close friend Pooka.
