This One

I cannot believe I’m writing this, I cannot believe what has happened. Our little Poppy has died. We don’t know yet know if it was her epilepsy or if something went horribly wrong with her treatment at the vet, but she’s gone.

Whenever we were going through a door or a baby gate together she would put her paw on it assertively as if to say “this one, this is the one you have to open Dad”. It became a little ritual that we always did; she’d do it with her paw and I’d say it. “This one”.

Oh noooo, Paul and Susan, my heart breaks for you. :( This is so incredibly sad and crazy, I cannot believe that little Poppy is gone! Sending all of you, including Monkey, love, light and comfort. I’m going to go cry now. :(

What utterly shocking and sad news about your sweet, affectionate little Poppy. I don’t know what to say other than how sorry I am. Sending love to you, Susan and Monkey at this awful time.
