R.I.P. Ms. Oscar Meyer Weiner 1994-2010

My 16 year old dog, Ms. Oscar Meyer Wiener passed away today. I was heartbroken. After the girls said their good-byes to her I took her to the vet. My Dad called when I was driving there and I couldn't talk because I was crying so hard. He had me go by and pick him up. We drove to the vet's together with my Dad holding Ms. Oscar and crying right along with me. We went in together, told her we loved her and as I stroked her sweet little head she went peacefully. My Dad and I stood their afterwards hugging and crying. Thank you Daddy for being so good to me and being there for me! I love you.

Living on my own, I had three of my very own pets; they are all now in Heaven. Cocoa, Mr. Kitty (the Siamese) and Ms. Oscar were my babies and true friends in life. They loved me as much as I loved them. As I told my Dad today, Ms. Oscar was with me in law school, moving from Oklahoma to Texas, dating, breaking up, working as an attorney, marriage, new home, Jordan, Katelyn, etc. She was a significant part of my life during many life changes for me. I'm going to miss you my sweet girl!!

Jordan saying good-bye. Broke my heart.

Katelyn saying good-bye when I dropped her at school.

My Dad wrote the following for me today:

Oscar was our little dog,

We loved to watch her play,

She grew up to tears and joy,

We saw her every day.

But as time passes and seems to run,

her body did decay.

In her eye a tear.

on her face a smile,

as she quietly slipped away.

Our hearts were broken that early day,

but hope returned, we pray!

To see her jump and play again in her new home far way.

To feel the love so high above,

We'll meet again...some day.

Your Dad loves you. 1 Nov 10
