My heart is broken today with the passing of my sweet Rosco yesterday. The empty dog bed, the face you look for that is no longer looking back at you, the barks you are so used to hearing make no sound anymore, the conversations we would have about what he’s smelling and barking at and what fun things he’s found and did in the yard that day, the body you reach out to cuddle in the middle of the night is no longer there…so much of my days were filled with him… 😭 He had a wonderful 12 years and I gave him everything in life I could. He spent his last day in our pond, hanging in the orchard and tanning on the deck. Rosco loved his adventures, car rides, snacks, his momma, camping and chasing frogs. He was never sick or hurt or started a fight in 12 years. He was the best boy. Spending time grieving in my gardens this morning.
