“They died together in bed, listening to Dancing Queen, surrounded by tremendous love.”
Mrs Williams explained that she had owned Poupette for 18 years and the little pup was her shadow.
“Wherever I’d go, she was right behind me. It’s weird how you can share so much with a being that can’t communicate back in the same language. But, that’s the beauty of unconditional love … it needs no words.”
She said when the couple got Walle, they instantly knew he would fit right into their family.
“There was no doubt the day we met Walle, this was the boy for us,” Mrs Williams said.
“He cuddled us & kissed us & chased us all around. From that day forward, on 4th of July, we officially became a blended family.”
Mrs Williams said she would be taking some time to process the deaths and admitted she would spend the next few days crying.
She ended the post with a beautiful note to her soulmates.
“You watched me grow from a girl to a woman and supported me for all my adult life. I love you with all my heart,” she said.
“May you rest and play together, forever and tell me all about it when I see you again.”
