If there was ever a sweeter dog than our little Weetie, I just don't know where it would be found.
Weetie lost her life last Tuesday in the most horrific accident. Somehow, and we will never understand why or how, she ran under the wheels of a big dump truck coming down our dirt path and was killed instantly. Our hearts are broken. It will take a long long time to get past this loss and this sadness. I hurt for Weetie.
This country path belonged to Weetie. She traveled it up and down searching for her family who had moved away. Most of the families in the area had seen her and wanted her, but she chose us and we have loved her for ten wonderful years.
Weetie was my baby. She followed my every foot step. Poppy said many times, "I've never seen a dog love anybody as much as Weetie loves you". It may have looked at times like we favored Eli, with all the pictures, but we never bragged on or made over Eli that I didn't add, "but Weetie is our best girl".
Weetie's little stub of a tail wagged most all the time. She could be asleep and hear one of us say "she" and her tail would wag. Of course, that was because she slept with one ear up. She was truly a sweetie pie. Poppy named her by dropping the S from Sweetie...Weetie.
Thank you for listening. I leave you with some of my favorite pictures of our little sweetheart, Weetie.
Love,
Henny
A special "thank you" to our neighbor Fred who saw it all and absolutely took charge. Poppy was at work.
I am so very sorry Henny, that your lovely Weetie is gone.
ReplyDeleteyour hearts will be broken for so long and there will be hole

It's heartbreaking to hear this. We know our pets don't have a long life span when we take them into our hearts, but never should anything like this take them away. We've lost cats on the road where there's traffic. For it to happen on a dirt path is unthinkable. Did the driver stop? I just don't have the right words. Please know that my heart breaks with you. Two of our little dogs were similar to your Weetie. We're old, our last little dog Daisy had to be put down a month ago. She was nearly 16 years old and had stopped eating, so it was time. Your loss is so much worse (not making comparisons) and my heart truly goes out to you, your family, the kitties, and Eli. I'm sorry it happened now, at Easter time. God be with you all.
ReplyDeleteOh Henny - big tears as I read this post today. I know how much Weetie was your special sweet girl. I am so deeply sorry that she should meet her end in such a way. Please dear Henny - when your heart breaks - try to remember what a wonderful life she had with you there & how loved she was. She will be a the Rainbow Bridge now. Sending love & friendship across the oceans & the miles to you dear Henny. x0x0x0x
ReplyDeleteThis was on Daisy's cremation certificate:
ReplyDeleteFarewell Master, yet not farewell,
Where I go, ye too shall dwell.
I am gone before your face,
A moment's time, a little space.
When ye shall come where I have stepped
Ye will wonder why ye wept.
After Death, by Edwin Arnold
I am so very sorry to hear this, Henny. It is never easy to lose our furry family members, but I imagine it is especially painful after such a terrible accident. The pictures you shared of Weetie sure are cute. I love how one of her ears is always up. Thinking of you and sending a virtual hug.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I'm so sorry for the loss of sweet Weetie. Our fur babies are such a part of our family! My thoughts to you and your husband in this sad time.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad for you and Poppy. Love and hugs to you both
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss. Two of my fur babies have passed within the last 8 months. I truly know what you are going through. May the Lord bless you with wonderful memories of your sweet boy.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. She will live on in your memories.
ReplyDeleteGood neighbors are blessings.
Oh I'm so heartbroken...I'm so sorry Henny. My love to you. xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so heartbroken over Weetie. I know there are no words that can help. Speaking from much experience, just know little Weetie will be there. You will feel her spirit.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Henny.
Losing little guys like Weetie is very difficult.
ReplyDeleteOh Henny - I am so very sorry! So tragic and unnecessary. Praying for you guys.
ReplyDeleteOoh sweet little Wheetie....my heart breaks.
ReplyDeleteHe was so loved and he knew it.
Fly high over that Rainbow Bridge little one.
Hugs and condolences to you both Henny.

Hugs to you and Poppy. My heart aches for you. We all love our pets and they give us so much love in return.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Henny.....how absolutely awful. I'm so sorry to hear this news. What a sweet little dog she was. Thank God your neighbor helped you out at such a terrible time. Losing a pet like that, is just horrific. I'm so sorry for your loss. Life is hard....and we put so much love into our little "buddies." May time help to ease your pain. I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry, it's hard to lose a sweetie like Weetie. Ten years of companionship is worth a lot and I know you will miss her terribly. I know why Weetie chose you guys since you are both so kind and loving.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Poor Weetie, such a sad ending. I think elderly dogs lose their bearings sometimes and their hearing...and accidents happen. I hope you good memories are of some comfort to you.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry that your darling Weetie is gone. And in such a violent way. I know your hearts are broken and I hope the wonderful memories you have of her will in some way be a comfort.
ReplyDeleteOh Henny, I am so sorry to hear this. I loved Weetie so much too. I know how heartbreaking it is to loose a sweet girl like Weetie. It leaves an ache in your heart. You and Poppy have all my sympathies and love. I love all the pictures you have posted here of your sweet girl. Remember all the good times with her and know that you gave her a wonderful life. May you find peace in all the good memories. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteHenny, I'm so sorry for you and Poppy. As you know, we lost our sweet Chloe girl three weeks ago on Tuesday. Exactly three weeks before your sweet Weetie died so tragically. I would like to think they met each other on the Rainbow Bridge because we shared them both on our blogs. We are still lost. I don't know that we'll ever get over missing her and I know you feel the same way. My heart goes out to you both. I truly do know how you feel. So unexpected, just like Chloe. No time to prepare our hearts and they're gone. You will both be in my prayers and you adjust. Eli too. He's sure to wonder what's happening. Big hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and love,
Betsy
I lost a treasured friend today
ReplyDeleteThe little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And shared her silent thoughts with me.
She’ll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her favourite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to his golden throne.
When it is time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with a bark.
Thinking of you all at this time Henny...
Especially Eli..!x
God bless you all...God bless!x
Oh Henny I am so sorry. Weetie was such a lucky little dog to have met you and received so much love from you. Try just to remember that. Sending lots of love to you all. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartbreaking to read. I am so truly sorry to read of your loss. Weetie was so blessed that she chose your Family to spend the rest of her life with after it sounds like she was left behind. She was quite adorable. I am a huge animal lover and know what it is like to loose a Family member. Sending my tearful condolensces to you and all of your Farm Family. RIP Weetie..you were very loved, obviously!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. This kind of loss is very painful. I am imagining Weetie playing and running in heaven right now. With my geese, and the dogs I loved so much that passed...Praying for you dear one.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to have read about your Weetie. I know she was a sweet, good little dog and that you will miss her very much.

Im so sorry for your loss. Be blessed
ReplyDelete{{{hug}}}
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, Henny! Sometimes it just helps to cry. It has been four years since I lost my Nell and I am still not over it. I put flowers and other pretties on her grave.
ReplyDeletePoor little Wheetie- oh so sad to loose such a wonderful little fellow.
ReplyDeleteI have no words, Mel. I am just so broken-hearted for you. Sending a comforting hug to you, Poppy and the animals. xo
ReplyDeleteMy heart is broken with yours. I am so so sorry that this happened. I know you have a Weetie-sized hole in your heart that will take a long time to heal. Allow yourself all the time you need to grieve for this precious girl.
ReplyDeleteDear Henny,
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you.
Love, Carla

Oh Henny, this is so heartbreaking! I'm so, so sorry. It's always sad to lose them, but accidents seem to be the worst. Such a precious tribute. She was a true joy, wasn't she?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this news. I know your heart is hurting for this loss. our pets become part of our family and when there is a loss, it leave us with such a lonely feeling. Hugs to you
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry for your loss of sweet Sweetie.❤
ReplyDeleteI meant Weetie!❤
DeleteOh Henny, I'm so sorry to read this. I know when my Taffy died (he was hit by a car), I felt pain like I had actually lost a child. It was horrible. Sending you many hugz, Mxx

ReplyDeleteHave enjoyed coming to your blog for several years. Always enjoyed your dogs as well. Sorry to hear about Weetie.
ReplyDeleteThat is always hard to take. But she was loved.
I'm so sorry, Henny. God be with you as you grieve.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for the pain and sorrow you are going through. I am so sorry that seems to be a problem every where there are too many cars driving too fast or not being aware, although I am sure that Weetie knows her mama misses her and she waits faithfully for you. I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Terry
ReplyDeleteHow awful! I am so sorry you lost your precious little friend, and especially in that way. My heart just breaks for you. I wish so much I could give you a real hug and listen to your stories about Weetie.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your little dog, Weetie.
ReplyDeleteOh, Henny!!! I'm so so sorry :( We know how heart-breaking it is, the tremendous sense of loss and guilt, even though you did nothing wrong. We lost two precious pups to a similar accident -- inexplicable -- a few years ago. Adam has never gotten over it. But Sweet Weetie had a lovely life with you. There's nothing better for the heart of a dog than to love someone, and she loved you.
ReplyDeleteOh, Henny, I am so, so sorry for your loss. I am just now seeing this. It is so hard to accept, I know. She will always be in your heart. But oh, how empty everything seems for a while. Again, I am so sorry for your loss, and sorry I am just now seeing this.
ReplyDeleteI was reading your latest post about your new puppy but wanted to read your post about Weetie. How my heart cries for you. We, too , have lost the dearest pets and parts of our life through accidents and natural deaths.........none of them are easy to go through. We learn to get through it, but it still is a thorn in our hearts for each one. Reflect back on the loving memories you have and know that we all are with your hurt in this
