Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge — Pets…

It’s time again for the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge hosted by Long and Short Reviews.

Today’s topic is: Pets I Used to have, or Wish I Could have

I have four amazing pets currently (and I have on and off foster pets — small furry ones, like hamsters, rats and my last one was a chinchilla) and I really do love them all, but I believe we are sometimes lucky enough to have a “heart” pet. One that you have a deeper connection with, one who you never quite get over and certainly never forget. I’ve had pets by the dozen over the years, in all shapes and sizes and types, but the only one who fits that description, and the one I’d give almost anything to have back? This one:

My darling Dakota. We lost her eight years ago, April 2016, to a sudden brain aneurysm and that may have been the hardest thing about losing her. Especially at such a young age (she’d just turned eight). My girl was sweet, gentle, breathtakingly obedient, an ace at dog agility and just the goodest girl and I miss her every single day.

A few more pictures, just because I couldn’t choose just one.

I can’t wait to see her again. I know she’s waiting right at the edge of heaven…
