Longtime Castle reader Miss Ladybug has lost her best friend - the one who was *always* there.
We know how it feels here at the Castle. But we couldn't imagine the Castle without the Guard.You were my dog your entire life. I saw you be born. I always loved how your one ear never really stood up all the way. But it was time to let you go. I miss you already. I love you.
Gunner! Assemble the Guard! Suellen! Sit still!
Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance sing a soul to the Great Hunting Ground and Tennis Ball Chasing Facility hight Piddler's Green. It's just across the street from Fiddler's Green.



Abby didn't leave me alone. I still have her littermate, Tipsy, and my cat, Junior, to keep me company. It will still take a little getting used to, though. 14+ years is a long time...
Tipsy doesn't look anything like her. She has more of their father's look - the long-haired shepherd look of a shepherd/border collie mix. Of course, she's not recovered from the clipping I gave her at the beginning of the summer, either...we're gonna work on getting her hair to grow back like it should have...
Those critters know how to get under your skin, and we tend to be very good enablers.
My condolences on your loss.
