Ellie died at home early Monday morning, after not eating much the previous day. She had her final bedtime hugs and scratches and then went to get a drink of water and rest by her wee wee pad, and by morning she was gone
A friend suggested that Cricket was getting bored alone in heaven and tapped Ellie on the shoulder, telling her to come sooner. I can believe that of Cricket, and I can believe Ellie would do that for her sister, but she is so deeply missed here on earth.
It’s hard to find words for the loss of Ellie, on top of the loss of Cricket just two months ago, which has left the apartment so completely dogless. My greatest consolation is that Ellie knew how deeply she was loved, and we know how completely she loved us.

You’re welcome. We were rocked by pet losses this year too. We lost several elderly cats and a rabbit.
It’s awful to lose someone you love, human or otherwise.

My heart still reaches out to you with the loss of Cricket & Ellie. Our home is petless for the first time in our 62 years together … and I know the loneliness you must be feeling. S’pose you’ll find another any time soon? I am seriously considering it. God bless you, Rachel!
Thank you! I keep imagining puppies arriving at my door, but it will take a little while to get myself together to go looking.
So sorry!!
Thank you!
Rachel, I am reading this months after its posting, having taken a long break myself from blogging, but I wanted to offer my deep condolences. Seeing Ellie’s sweet face over the years, I feel I got to know her a little, and I can’t imagine the hole she is leaving in your life. I am holding you in the Light, as the Quakers say.
Thank you so much!
😢💔
Very sorry to know. Heartfelt condolences.
Thank you!
The ‘Happy Ellie’ photo is so good. We are dreading the fading away of our collie, Tess, which, at best, is only a few years away…
It’s so hard to lose them.
The hardest part is losing them. We get into the ride knowing how it ends, but we would do it all over again.
Absolutely!
I know I’m late, but I wanted to say sorry for your loss of little Ellie. What a sweetheart she was. x
Thank you!
