'Queenie's Last Day'

by Robin Blakesley
(Canadaigua, New York)

On the morning that we were to say goodbye to our dog Queenie, I was trying to coax her off of our bed, since she was having difficulty with depth perception and her legs giving out and needed assistance, but wouldn't let me pick her up (stubborn till the end).

As I was standing by her, I caught just one but very distinct whiff of my Mothers perfume. I had lost my Mother the year before, and I know Queenie still missed her, as they were very fond of one another, and that's a lot for my Mom who was not a big dog lover (she more preferred cats).

I knew then that my Mother was nearby waiting for Queenie, and that Queenie would not be alone in her journey to heaven.
