#SilentSunday
Two sleeping dogs, snoring softly (so not a totally silent Sunday ) after mum and I had taken them for a lovely walk in the area of Brandlucken, while on vacation in 2019.
Today, I shared a (badly written ) poem I wrote about Arwen. I could not sleep, I was so sad and lonely... And while I thought of her, I wrote this little poem...
Where did time go..?
So much has happened since I took this beautiful snap of my gall, at almost two months old (one day short).
We've had some very happy moments, we battled the darkest of days... She always was my guiding light. She believed in me when I didn't. She showed me there was love in a world full of sadness. She gave me strength and made me feel like a better person.
The last two weeks have been hell. I've not "only" lost her, I also lost a part of myself. Of who she made me to be.
I don't know if I shared this snap before. During my time on Pixelfed, I've shared over 600 snaps of Arwen, and I don't have the spoons to go through them all. But... This cute snap, who would be angry for me showing this (again?)?
She was loved by many! Even more than I realized, as I've learned from all the replies on my posts about her passing during the last two weeks.
And she is missed, more than I could ever express.
I try to keep going strong, but the awesome person she saw in me? Well, that person needs time to heal, so I can hopefully be half as cool again, as she believed me to be...
Arwen, you were one special lady and you'll live on in the hearts of many.

I just shared this snap of Arwen on Masto...
I'm softly crying as I remember the last night we had together, which was two weeks ago.

Missing you like crazy sweet silly fur ball of mine... I hope you're running wild and pain free, enjoying all the splashes and sniffs
I loved this snap since I made it, almost a year ago. I used it for a photo poster in the stairway, among a few others.
I edited the image a wee bit, with a frame and added text.
This image will be printed and put in an acryl kind of frame. Only a small one, 10*15cm, due to the costs. But I also think the smaller one would be suited better next to the urn.
Sweet friends are coming this Saturday to help me mount the shelf.
The delivery time of the acrylic image was a huge one, between 6-33 days, so I have no idea how long I'll need to wait.
I just hope it will look as lovely as it did in the preview.
I'm slowly learning to get through the day without it revolving around my biggest love ever... I'm editing some of my favorite snaps of Arwen, adding a frame and text, with her name and dates of birth and death.
I'll share some of the edited images here, and/or on Masto, and/or on my blog.
I want to thank everyone that has told me how much they loved Arwen's snaps (and vids). It's good to know that she was loved by so many...
Hopefully soon, I'll be able to pick up her remains and take her home. Her cremation is scheduled for tomorrow...
A little late #ThrowbackThursday as I didn't get a new snap from Arwen this morning. I'd forgotten the cookies!! Shame on me! And she wasn't feeling too well... So I'll share an older snap of Arwen with a dental stick, shaped as a toothbrush.
Arwen is struggling a bit today. Morning walkies she wasn't too keen to walk a longer walk. And with the 9 o'clock one, she only went to the bushes and then rushed back and almost collapsed in the middle of the street. Maybe it's the heat from the last few days, maybe it's her age, or probably a combination... She's sleeping now but I'm so worried that she will get worse from here on out. She's almost 12 now... Maybe her time is running out too quickly now?
Good morning from Arwen
This is a snap that mum made for me yesterday, while I was in the hospital. Still am in hospital but wanted to share a lovely Arwen snap.
Good morning lovely Friendos Arwen and I has some cooler walkies. Now the warmth is coming, so we'll try to hide in the cool house as much as we can...
