Muddy Boots Old Houses and the Farm – how do you say goodbye

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Murdoch today…. he went downhill even more from yesterday.

So we decided to have a nice morning together with him, hugging him and whispering all our love to him as we lay on the floor.

Then when we gathered all our courage and we carried Murdoch out to the van….. we decided that a drive through Cavedish to one of his favorite places would be it. I laid out the blankets and we carried him out and lifted him in.

When we got to the ocean we opened the door and sat down with him. He laid his head on Rusty’s lap and sniffed the salt air and looked out to the ocean. We covered him up and we sat together taking it all in…..

We went to the AVC and the sweet doctors and vet techs toke us back to the special room and we all laid on the floor on mats and discussed the best for our sweet Murdoch…. they are so amazing there. We had a chance to take whatever time we needed and Murdoch left this earthly dwelling and I would hope that he is somewhere up above running around in fields of tall grass chasing rabbits and squirrels and that maybe some day we will see that beautiful kind hearted amazing dog.

We are grieving hard today, He, Murdoch was with us for 13 amazing years and that is I guess the hardest part. He filled a huge hole in our hearts 13 years ago and now again our hearts have big empty space.

The waves of sadness flow but also do all the happy memories. It’s gonna take a while but bare with us as we go…

We have decide to have Murdoch cremated and then we will place him in a beautiful place on our land where he loved to sit and we will plant a beautiful tree or bush to provide him with shade in the summer as he watches over us in the garden♡♡♡

Thanks everyone for the hugs, love and prayers we appreciate it.

Love Rusty & Vanessa
