Yes, you read that correctly. The Rainbow Bridge now has a DOUBLESTUFF âOreoâ.
Kingston (big white guy) joined Harmony (black girl) and Melody (black girl) on Saturday. When we first got Kingston and he was standing between the girls I told the hub-a-dub it was like looking at a Doublestuff Oreo. LOL!
Doublestuff (AKA Kingston) had a good life. At 12 years old and sporting a 90-lb body, we think he did well. He was definitely a big âole pile of goofy fur. We always joked it was a good thing he was purdy âcause he didnât have a lick of sense.
Still, we will miss him profoundly. I donât think folks think about what an empty-nest is like when it starts to void of your fur-kids. Itâs not like theyâre getting married or going to college.
We are adjusting.
Weâve also made the hard decision to not adopt any more because of our own health/age circumstances. That difficult decision was made after our scare during the first of the year when we nearly lost the hub-a-dub. It certainly wasnât fair to the puppers to be in the house as long as 12 hours a day while I ran back and forth to ICU daily for 2 weeks. And, doG forbid, I canât even imagine what would happen to them if something happened to either of us. We have no children or family they can go live with. And we canât bear the thought of any of them ending up homeless in a shelter.
We still have Meesha and Mariah who keep our hearts in check, thank goodness ’cause this year has been a real heart-jerker.
Love to you all !!
