Remembering Nanny | honeysada #Video
Description
Nanny was royalty in our lives and on this channel. She came to the ranch as a rescue in 2006. She educated all the dogs, cats and friendly wildlife, and even humans for over 15 years. She truly was wise beyond us all. A master of all her subjects.
There were no bad days for Nanny, her elegance, calmness, fearless character and deep presence were noticed by everyone.
In her later years she became very well-traveled and even more vastly experienced. She spent her winters in the warmer sunnier climes of California, and also explored the Pacific NorthWest in her last few months.
There was something ethereal about her presence, something very magical in her ability to lend some wisdom to every activity which she insisted on participating in. If Nanny wanted something, she communicated it so clearly to humans and animals alike.
In May of 2022, she was diagnosed with an esophageal stricture, this had been causing vomiting and nausea, she had a major procedure to correct it and then months of recovery and healing. She got through it and had what we thought was a good recovery, although there were some signs that our girl wasn’t fully feeling 100%.
She was getting a little older, slowing down a bit, sleeping a lot. But she still had her priorities: playtime, grooming time, going to work with me, riding in the little car, supervising all projects, inspecting all work, demanding to be fed, she even had a few weeks of eating some of her favorite foods, after months of a liquid-only diet. She never had an off day, always active, and insisted on her daily duties and routine until the very end.
We took her for a check up at the end of September. When they took a blood draw, she suddenly went into cardiac arrest and was gone in seconds.
In the end, what was extremely traumatic for us to witness, was actually comparatively easy on her. After everything she had been through, she took any decision making out of our hands, as clearly she had had enough. We could never have let her go.
Losing her from our lives has been a great shock. We still feel her spiritual presence around us wherever we are, but her sublime companionship, glorious beauty and general furry magnificence will be sorely missed forever.
The relationship between myself and Nanny was a once-in-a-lifetime bond.
She is immortal in our memories, photos, videos and calendars. We feel so privileged to have had such a special girl touch our lives.
From both sides of the Rainbow Bridge we all wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2023.
We put together the Nanny 2023 calendar
