Callie has passed

[babsbag]

@Goat Whisperer That old saying comes to mind when I read your post. "Your capacity to love is you capacity to hurt." It just doesn't seem right sometimes that that more we love something the more it hurts when we lose it. But your love for Callie and your respect for Callie shows your inner beauty and strength and it is part of what makes you the person that I Iove and admire. And yes, I do admire you, you are an amazing person and never for a minute would I want you to not feel that deep compassion that I have seen so many times. It is who you are, a reflection of your soul and your inner self. Callie was fortunate to have had you in her life just as much as you are to have known and loved Callie.

You know, not only did Callie help train many pups. She also provided a shining example for people all over the country, heck the world, of what a LGD should be.

@babsbag said everything... It's a beautiful and powerful thing, the bond between (wo) man and dog.

So, I feel that I should say that the night she passed I was thinking about her, and breeding. I'm not sure why but for some reason I was and now it breaks my heart that she has died. May she live a good life in heaven and rest peacefully.

I didn't know Callie personally, but did get to know her (in a way) through your posts GW & SBC.

Southern, your photos were so touching - thanks for sharing. And GW, LOVED your story about Blue. How sweet & heart wrenching at the same time. It brings tears to my eyes. You are so right, Callie's legacy lives on in Blue.

We picked up our sweet girl today. We said our last good byes.
I took a lock of her hair and we have her collar.
Just held her sweet face and kissed her face and her head.

The field seems empty.
Last night when the dogs were all barking... her distinct bark was not heard.
We have truly lost a part of our farm, a part of us.

I still cannot believe it. I just cannot understand this.

Spoiler: Callie-our last goodbye

Sweet baby girl.
