Gracie too I met inwards Dallas almost 22 years ago, on or around August 1st, 1994; she given to me past times a friend who constitute her inwards odd circumstances. She has been a constant companion, a hurting inwards the butt sometimes, but ever too forever a sweetness fiddling girl, frail from solar daytime 1 until the solar daytime she passed into the beyond. She genuinely embodied her name.
Grace, dissimilar Archer too Quincy, was never sick a solar daytime inwards her life. She was tardily that way. She was, however, a very picky eater—until the real end. Sometimes in that location could live every bit many every bit v nutrient bowls lined upwards on the kitchen flooring too me hoping 1 of them would live adequate plenty for Grace to eat. Such a picky eater!!! (Admittedly, I gave inwards to her to a greater extent than every bit she got older. I revered her age, which made me much to a greater extent than susceptible to her picky ways.) Toward the cease I would select the nutrient to her, but soundless if it didn’t adapt her, she would plow upwards her nose.

After moving to Boulder, I adopted Quincy Blu, an Australian Cattle Dog, who was sort too sweet; he passed away lastly summer. Although Grace lived amongst him for over seven years, what seemed similar each too every fourth dimension she saw him she acted (and reacted) similar she had never seen him before, looking incredulously at this giant animate existence who had walked into her infinite or who she was passing by. That ever made me chuckle.
After 22 years together, I called this sweetness daughter past times many names, some of these included: Grace, Gracie, Grainy, Gracilla, Princess Grace, Amazing Grace, Sweetie, Puddin, Pumpkin, Lovey, Sweetness, Silly Girl, Macy, Macy-Macy-My Gracie, Mookie, Mocha Chocolata, Brown Girl (she’s espresso—Burmese—but looks black), Little Girl, Sweetness of Life, Sweet Thing. More latterly I was calling her Skittles. (She lost some function/stability of her dorsum legs—so she sort of side-winded too skittled about.)
Thank yous Grace for these 22 years. You came to me (thank you, Teel) unexpectedly too gave me unimaginable years of joy too love. I dear you, Sweet Girl. Macy, Macy, My Gracie—rest, inwards peace.
Although I mentioned I recollect her passing was at the correct time, I didn’t recollect that at first. Like therefore many pet guardians, I struggled amongst the idea that maybe I was putting her downwardly likewise soon. I felt this amongst Quincy Blu every bit well. But similar Quincy, 1 time the solar daytime was dawning for the vet to come upwards over, it was abundantly clear that indeed I was non likewise early, inwards fact I was hoping I was non taking these steps likewise late.
When all is said too done, I genuinely believe that her passing came at the perfect time—for her. She felt ready, she seemed inwards some discomfort, too I experience blessed that I could accept my wonderful vet come upwards to the household (like he has done twice before) too euthanize my sweetness 22 yr quondam inwards the peace too comfort of her habitation too inwards her “place.” The special house that was all her ain where she slept too ate too finally took her lastly breath.
Thank yous Grace for these 22 years. You came to me (thank you, Teel) unexpectedly too gave me unimaginable years of joy too love. I dear you, Sweet Girl. Macy, Macy, My Gracie—rest, inwards peace.
