[Dailydrool] Blueberry

Beth:
It is early days yet, since you have lost Blueberry. Of course you still hurt. Part of that pain will always cling lightly to you, for Blueberry was a special hound.

<<When he saw my friend's dog, his face lit up with joy, and he ran  over, arms open, shouting, "Blueberry!  You've come back!">>

I think it's wonderful that your young neighbor loved your hound so much. It's a blessing, though I'm sure his comment split your heart for a time. Think about this, though. Isn't it wonderful that this boy loved her that much? In years to come, he may say to himself, "I remember Blueberry. She was a great dog. I think I'll get a basset for myself--how about rescuing one?"

Don't think it can't happen. I have warm memories of the basset who lived next door when I was a child. Rocky (we called him Rocky Roo, for obvious reasons) was a great introduction to bassets. When my basset-loving dad said he wanted a dog, what else would we get?

Blueberry impacted your heart, but she impacted the world, too.
