To my Facebook Family.... Well, this has not been a good day by any means….but Aida is at a peaceful sleep waiting at that rainbow bridge for me to cross over to her. Aida was never an affectionate dog. Her kisses were not easily obtained and were given up reluctantly as a lick on the nose….and just one! She has been the best companion I think I have ever had. Smart as a whip and never seeming to complain. She was quiet, polite, and never begged. She’d sit there and watch you eat…..and give you the stare. It could be intimidating. She was a quiet dog…..never barked or whined except once I can remember. It was just after I got her. I had left her on her chain at the house while I walked next door. She watched me walk away and just before I was out of sight, she started whining such a racket….after that she was allowed to stay by my side almost wherever I went. She loved sacking out on the couch and in so many positions….and all I had to say was “Want to check the mail?” and she’d bound up, hit the door and run out towards the road. It was all such a grand game to her. When she need to do her business, she’d stand at the door…..if I wasn’t forthcoming in letting her out, she’d come over and start vigorously nudging and licking my elbow and hand, then back to the door. Her other thing was to get up on the back of “her” couch and just stare at me till I got up to let her out. I’d let her out and leave the door shut but slightly ajar to where she just nudged it with her nose and came in whenever she was done. Another one of her “games” she played with me. When not on the couch, her favorite place was trashing my bed. She always had to “fluff up” the covers and pull them away so she could sleep on the sheets. It got so bad that I had to start shutting my bedroom door! I don’t think she liked that….. She seemed to trust me to no end. Knew I wouldn’t step on her when trying to pass and she was laying across the aisle…. I took her flying twice. She seemed to enjoy it, looking out the windows on each side and watching the countryside roll by below. Living alone doesn’t seen that bad…..till you lose your best and closest friend. Then you find how really empty the house is and just how truly alone you are. She will truly be missed.....
