Goodbye, Tiffany (Tiffy) as you cross the rainbow bridge this morning

Tiffany - in her own class

Originally uploaded by Robin3388

Tiffy came to our home as a little puppy from the pet shop. She was an imported pedigree American Cocker Spaniel and we had her when she was 8 months old.

As she was our first dog in the new house, we were afraid that she was lonely as a puppy and bought a cross Cocker Spaniel (we called him Gucci) to keep her company.

After having her for half a year, she was diagnosed with hereditary Juvenile Glaucoma and became blind in both eye at the age of 18 months old. Gucci then became her blind guide dog as she will follow Gucci whenever he goes.

Tiffy passed away and crossed the rainbow bridge this morning 12 Jan 2011 at 5.28am.

I gave her a warm bath after silent chanting for 1 hour and performed her last offices before sending her for cremation. She was cleaned and dried and rolled up in a new yellow towel with sandal wood. Chrysanthemum flowers were laid in a new colourful IKEA box for friends from the pet cremation service to collect her. Her ashes will be scattered to the sea.

(This is probably the same last office and funeral arrangement that I have arranged and planned for myself.)

Go well Tiffy, and be reborn as a Human in the next life..
