It is with the saddest of hearts that
I write this memoriam for
one of the gentlest Berners, Hannah. Hannah passed away this morning from
cancer. I met Hannah and her loving owners Madelyn and Dennis when they
contacted us to get a puppy (Diesel) from Abby's first litter. They wanted to have
a companion for Hannah who had recently lost her best friend, another Berner,
named Boomer.
Madelyn and I quickly
became friends and I often got to visit her and her pets at the farm. Hannah
became Diesel’s surrogate
mother
from the moment she met him, and would watch me like
a hawk protecting her nest. She didn't dare
chance that I might try to take away her new best friend, Diesel. It was only
after months of visits that Hannah was at ease with my presence, comfortable
that I wasn’t going to carry off her best friend.
Hannah's life was filled
with fun and good times. Madelyn and Dennis are among the most perfect pet
owners I have ever met
in my life. Their pets come before anything else and nothing is
ignored, whether it is a medical
condition or just quality play time.
Madelyn and Dennis tried desperately with the veterinarians to give Hannah more
time, but it wasn't meant to be. My heart goes out to my friends Madelyn and
Dennis in these saddest of times.
Hannah, you are with
Boomer now, under the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace, you’re always in my heart.
Love, Granny.
