🌈🐺💜 Our beautiful Opal 🌈💜🐺
Today we had another gut wrenching final goodbye to our sweet Opal. She naturally was the crowd favorite being an Irish Wolfhound as not very many people get to meet these incredible gentle giants. Our Opal got to help raise and nanny 6 incredible red Standard Poodle litters. This feels so surreal to be losing her so seemingly young at just shy of 7 years old but in the gentle giant old she was at the unfortunate shorter end of her life span. Through her health or deal she has been so so strong I don't know how she's been doing it but she was getting so exhausted here at the end. Opal came into our lives so seamlessly and wove herself beautifully into every part of our lives, our family's, and our friends. This truly is the worst part of ownership to be this selfless and emotionally strong until the end with part of our hearts which will never be the same. This is so freaking hard and we are again so broken.
We truly believe that God speaks to us in many different ways and for our family it's through huge signs that we just cannot ignore, today being a massive one. Today, December 11 is my boy Haku's heavenly 4th birthday. I just know that God had him waiting patiently for Opal as the pearly gates. I know that we most certainly will see them again. I am impatiently waiting for that day that our entire pack can finally be forever reunited.
To our most perfect gem Opal, we love you so very much.
