Oh Georgie… you’ve been gone since November 4th but I’m having trouble saying goodbye to you. I still wish there was something I could have done to save you, and I miss you terribly. I still can’t believe you’re really gone.
But you deserve a proper farewell, and you deserve to rest in peace. So here is your farewell, my Georgie girl.
Georgie came to us in August 2004 after surviving a dog bite and being rescued in West Seattle.
She quickly decided that she was in charge around here, and Flapper was going to report to her.
Georgie and Flapper settled down together and became a couple.
In March 2005, Georgie and Flapper had 3 beautiful ducklings together, named Bingo Baloo, Miss Murphy and Kozmo Kirby.
Georgie loved her ducklings very much, and they loved her as well. As many of you know, both Bingo Baloo and Miss Murphy passed away in December of 2005, and Kozmo Kirby passed away earlier this year. So Georgie outlived all of her children.
Georgie made friends with new rescues Phoebe Kay and Petunia Peach after her girls passed on. But she thought they were a little flakey. She was not into Phoebe’s yoga lessons at all.
But she did try it. Georgie was always game for anything.
After we adopted O’Malley, Georgie and Flapper broke up and Georgie started hanging out with O’Malley. I think she felt he really spoke her language, and O’Malley considered himself a lucky duck to land a girl as pretty as Georgie.
Georgie was always big on attitude but short on bull$#!%. She was a straight-shootin’ duck who didn’t take guff from anyone.
She was a beautiful, spirited, no-nonsense lady with a big heart.
Georgie? Our 4 years together went by too fast. I wish we had more time together and I miss you so much. I hope you are enjoying wormies wherever you are, and I hope you know I love you so.
Our friend Lisa made this card for us, and I hope with all my heart it’s true.
