Rest In Peace Darling Captain
15/04/97 - 02/10/07
Slowly backing out of the driveway through a dark thick sea fog at 5am on Tuesday morning this week, to my utter horror, I backed over our beloved Captain. He walked up the driveway to where his lifelong mate, Dash was, licked her face and laid down and passed away. I can hardly bear to think about it whilst at the same time, can't get it out of my mind. I keep seeing him toddle up to Dash for his goodbye kiss.
The master was in full force with his abuse and name calling for 2 hours. I am a murderer, among other choice names. I can't get the sight of his carrying on out of my mind either. When I got home on Wednesday night, he'd gone off for sleep over at his mate's place in big town then left a succinct message on the phone that he'll be staying til at least Saturday. Hopefully I will have pulled myself together by the time he gets back. Right now, I can't bear the thought of even looking at him and would love to be anywhere but here when he gets back.
I took Cappy to a hillside over looking a beautiful beach area, (where I'd spent 8 weeks in the camper-trailor a couple of years ago whilst land developement was going on next to our house), and I made a lovely grave that other animals wont be able to get to and buried him in his favourite blanket where he can forever look out to sea.
It's just so sad, Dash who used to bark at a fly to get our attention hasn't barked since Cappy's passing. I'm trying to keep a steady medium where I keep her close to me but at the same time not let her get away with any of her tricks because if you give the little minx an inch, she'll take four ks. We are having lots of cuddles.
Captain was ten years old...toy.
