Hi Hazel,
It's Natalie here and my heart just aches for you. I was waiting to hear how the visit went and I feel asleep for a short while since it was very early my time that we were tweeting. When I awoke just like that I looked on my twitter and you had just posted that Bonnie went OTRB. It's as if Honey's little spirit nudged me awake saying Bonnie Da Westie is coming to heaven. I instantly replied in my half asleep dazed state with "Oh No."
The night Honey died, I will never forget her spirit was all around me. She stayed for quite awhile, everyone could feel her presence. My bed shook It has that function, but I unplugged it. Every now and then all my electrical goes haywire and I know it is my Honey girl. She was the love and light of my life for 18 years.
I've lived alone for many years just me and her and we were bonded like soul mates. All of my friends loved her and she was so amazing. She was like a little person. She knew how to roll down the windows in the car and she always sat on me or near me. Some part of her little body had to always be on mine. We were like glue that little girl and I. I started a dog biscuit company for her, but my disability took over. I used to lay in bed with her for many hours and say to her, "Oh, little girl, we both are just tuckered out...we better stay in and rest." She would go "Yeah." she actually said Yeah and talked. I am always around to chat to. I have a titanium cage in my back and my bones aren't there so just painful, my left knee had a muscle transfer/ I get around and don't look disabled, but I am and I can't move around for long periods. In any event, I've always lived as a personification of Honey and vice versa; therefore, FB and Twitter and YouTube all her accounts. You and Tuxie's mom ere the first people I shared with that Honey was actually OTRB. I wish she was still here everyday. I still talk to her when I drive in my car. I wish she was still alive when I joined Zombie Squad, I dressed her up every day to the nines!Glasses, shoes, etc. Since my disability got worse, I live with my friends that are like my family. Though it is a large house, I often am all alone. Like now, someone is home, but they are on the other side of eternity and I cannot even hear a peep. Gabby is downstairs and she and I hang out everyday, but she's a big dog . Maybe I am out of space.
My first reaction was oh no and that I fear you are all alone. I am here always....day and night my friend. You loved Bonnie as much as I loved Honey. 18 years...and then one day gone. She wasn't sick at all.
Love, Natalie
