She was between Snickers and I when Snickers crossed over in our living room by a kind vet and Richie on the other side. When Snickers’ heart had stopped, she sniffed his little head for a bit before moving away to cuddle Richie.
She’s never slept on his bed in the den and always went to her bed right next to his. Since the day he crossed, I took 2 of his harnesses and 2 toys that he’d rest next to on the kitchen chair he’d sit on when I ate, and put them down on his bed. When we’re in the kitchen, she’s only been resting on his bed next to his harnesses and toys now.
The 2nd night without her brother, she stayed at the end of the bed and just kept staring out in different directions, restless. Snickers was rarely without one of his gators when resting in various rooms. Richie asked me if he could go get one and wrap it around her. I knew it would help her so he did.
Richie wrapped one of Snickers gators around her on the bed. She immediately laid her head down on it, but then suddenly picked up her head and face up towards the ceiling, let out the saddest & biggest wail of a cry, then lay her head back down on the gator and went to sleep.
The next day she asked me, “Does Snickers watch us now mommy (watch over us)?” I told her yes. She said, “We love him mommy and we will none stopping (stop).” So love my Princess Lollipop and she’s been sleeping where Snickers slept when here, totally squished up to me to help my heart and hers through this grief.
When Richie’s dog Daisy crossed over, I told Snickers he needed to do 50/50 – 1/2 our down time with me and 1/2 with Richie. And dang straight if he wasn’t exact on the time he split between us cuddling us. Then when Snickers’ foster mommy (we’ll again be forever grateful to you Cindy D) tagged us on Lollipop’s adopt me ad; I asked Snickers if it was okay to adopt her and he said yes. And the rest is loving history. ❤
Snickers taught her how to punk, slamming into each other’s shoulder then racing around with her telling him off; un-stuffing dog toys in record time and who she could cuddle at night (when she felt like it lol). And I believe he even gave her more confidence in all things. He truly was the best big (smaller) older brother and she misses him as much as we do.
