Good Karma

I’m so incredibly sad about the passing of our dog Karma! It happened so fast and during a time where time is so fluid that I sometimes don’t realize what day it is. There was nothing that we could do and Karma was definitely not herself.I was (and still am) always so proud about adopting Karma. I remember just like it was yesterday (really like yesterday but actually six years ago) when Tom was surfing online trying to find a dog to adopt (Tom’s first order of business after buying our first house) and when he showed me the picture of Karma I new she was the one. I never had a dog before and never spent very much time around dogs (we were a cat family). Sure, sure I had a dog when I was a kid but my parents took care of it and it was more like a cat then a dog - Karma was different. We really wanted to rescue a dog and we did. When we finally were able to bring Karma home, we had to feed her her dog food piece by piece just to get her to eat. We were able to slowly get her to put on weight and her hair gradually grew back that was missing on her nose and ears from malnutrition. What an accomplishment for all of us!

I even remember vividly coming up with her name. Late at night after hundreds, no thousands of ideas that Tom shot down (sounds like naming Lola and Oliver). A spin off of Karmann Ghia. Mia, Gia, Karmanna Ghia. Karma that’s it! It was perfect!Not sure if anyone noticed but Karma passed on Tom and I’s anniversary. At first it was adding to my sadness but thinking about it isn’t that what being married is all about. Working through the good and bad times? Knowing you are with the right person. Being there for each other. Karma showed me a lot of things in life and I will always be thankful for her!Karma was a good girl, I love you Karma.
