i feel so far away

[beverley]

My sister rang this morning to tell me that she had found her 'baby' (a 7 month old sausage dog) drowned in her pool.


She was having floor put down but was working on monday. She had told them a few days ago that she preferred tues or wed as she is off that day. Anyway they came to fit the floor today and she got a call from one of them to say that they couldnt find her puppy. She got home half an hour later and was looking around the garden and lifted up the pool cover and there was frankie under it.

I feel so sad, its actually an exact year to this day that she moved to perth.

All she ever wanted since we were little was a black and tan girl sausage dog called frankie. She finally got one and it really helped her settle in as her partner works away alot so frankie kept her company. She even mentions her on her home answerphone message.

I am going over on 15th dec and was really looking forward to meeting frankie for the first time and swimming in the pool at xmas, now i feel really sad. Its also times like this that you realise how far away you are from each other.

Hi Beverley
Sorry to hear about your sisters dog we had to have our dog put down a few months ago due to ill health and it really really hit hard. Its at times like that you just wish you could be there in person. The distance is a huge obstacle for most people but it is something that you just have to accept I guess. At least it won't be too long before you see her and that in itself will give her something to look forward to.
All the best

Bev,

So sorry to hear about Frankie, your sister must be devastated. We really do seem to have a few similiarities going on-my Mum actually has a black and tan daschund (small sausage dog) who has been through the wars (has no use of his back legs) and I can't imagine how upset my Mum would be (and will be) when he dies (in fact I wouldn't even dare tell her about Frankie as she would be so upset just hearing it), nevermind for Claire to have lost hers as just a puppy really and in such a distressing way.

As Mandy says at least you will be seeing her soon and she will be able to look forward to that.
My heart goes out to you both, it's so sad.

Just think you'll be able to see her soon....
