Callie has passed

[Southern by choice]

Sweet baby girl.

I know you are going through the same as well as @samssimonsays

My heart hurts, but then I think of Cal... and I cannot help but to smile.

Thank you all here in this community.
Very rare I grieve publicly.
Truth is I needed you all.

Ahhh, the goat watching ...I was okay until that picture. I hurt so much for all of you. I am one of those people that is a "fixer". I need to fix this and make it all go away; I want a "do over" as I am sure y'all do too. This just can't be real.

We have all been there (or most of us) at some point and it is so hard when they mean so much to us. All we can do is cherish those memories.

What has helped us tremendously has been Sadie, Rumely's daughter, and all the other pups. Seeing that Rum lives on in them has been amazing to see with all the similarities and personality that they got from him. We catch ourselves doing the "just like her daddy" more so now than when he was with us. Some times it hurts but it is getting to be more comforting than painful finally.

My heart truly breaks for you and with you as I do know what you are going through. On Instagram, the Great Pyr community will do a #nosesfor_____ to show their condolences and support for the loss of a dear friend or guardian.

I am truly sorry for this loss of your family. Please know that many of us understand your grieve. Hugs from one LGD owner to another. They are family.

So sad for you.
I don't think I've ever done the hug emoji, but this calls for it.

@Southern by choice I totally get where you are coming from when you said you don't grieve publically. I am the one to suck it up, be strong and keep everyone else together, then go off by myself to allow the luxury of grieving. I think you have that same deep, quiet inner strength, you are that person that everyone else relies on, you are the core of your family that everyone else revolves around. If you go to pieces, who's going to hold everyone else together?

Just because you are strong, does not mean that you don't have feelings. Those feelings run deep and are not open to public viewing, as you are an intensely private person. I, for one, and I believe I can speak for everyone here, WE are privileged that you choose to share part of your life with us and we love you for it. Sometimes even the strong must have their moments of deep grief and who to better understand than your BYH family who knows your pain and who loves you? Yes, you needed us, but we need you too and you are always there for us and we deeply, deeply appreciate you.

Recently, I fell apart over having to put a ewe down. Who was there for me? My BYH family, that's who.

In this time of sorrow, SBC and GW, we're there for you.
