Dixie passed away 10 years ago today. I love all of my fur babies, but Dixie's passing was particularly difficult for me. I only had her for just over a year (she was about a year and a half)...and she didn't make it through surgery. The vet called to say that during surgery, he discovered an infection throughout her body they affects female guinea pigs sometimes, and there was nothing more that could be done. But I had to make the call to let her go. He was keeping her sedated and comfortable, while I processed everything. So I had to make the gut wrenching decision to let my baby girl go. It tore me to pieces, and took me what seemed like forever to heal from the ordeal. Which is one of the reasons why it's taken me so long to create this memorial for her. I thought that creating this memorial today would be a nice way to honor the memory of my precious Dixie-Doodle. I may have had Dixie for only just over a year...but she provided so much joy and fun during that time. She was packed with personality and attitude...and was so sweet and sweet. And she was adorable! Spoiled as all get out...and I wouldn't have it any other way! She had her pink bed, which she snuggled in every single day. And she somehow took over my pink lounge pajama jacket, as her own. I finally ended up just putting it in her pink bed for her, and she'd curl up inside that. She was my special girl. And she will always hold a special place in my heart...in the space where the piece was that I gave to her. |
