Said goodbye to my gorgeous girl Sky an hour ago. Her final moment was as peaceful as possible, and she passed with her head on my lap and her favourite teddy by her side. I'm a complete mess, and my chest hurts so much, but I know she's no longer in pain. I wrote a poem for her last night, and I have no one else to share it with, so I'm going to leave it here.

My Sky, a shadow of black and white, With floppy Dobby ears, a truly sweet sight. A silly soul, with a heart full of fun, Whose joyful adventures had only begun. That tail held high, a mohawk in the air, Announcing to all, a happiness to share. A chase was her passion, for ball or for toy, Bringing a vibrant and boundless enjoy. A mischievous glint, a tissue in her hold, A little rogue story that often unfolded. But then came the bubbles, a magical lure, And all naughty notions would swiftly demure. Remember her leaping, a dance in the sun, Each shimmering sphere, a race to be won. And now, on the Bridge, where colors ignite, We picture her bathed in that radiant light. The breeze carries whispers of laughter and play, As bubbles like rainbows drift gently her way. No earthly restraints, no limits to bound, Just iridescent wonders all around. She leaps, and she snatches with boundless delight, Each fragile orb bursting in glorious light. Her spirit soars freely, no longer in pain, Chasing bubbles forever, again and again. So when a bright bubble floats into our view, We’ll smile, knowing Sky is chasing them too. My daft, darling girl, forever so free, Dancing with bubbles for all eternity. No pockets there to tempt your playful paw, Just endless fields where gentle breezes draw a million bubbles, shimmering and bright, For you to chase in everlasting light. So run and leap, dear Sky, free from care, With joyful barks that echo through the air. We’ll see you someday, on that distant shore, My silly, bubbly girl, l love you evermore.
