We got her from a neighbor when she was 18 months old. A frightened, needy, precious child who had spent her entire life inside a backyard fence with no companionship. Every day we heard her cry and cry. I’d cry with her. She was so very sad and lonely. It broke my heart. When her owners decided to give her to us, we jumped at the chance to love her. And we have loved everything about her for the past 7 years. In December she was diagnosed with mammary cancer. We did surgery in January. Before her incisions healed there were new cancers growing under that beautiful silver skin. We cried and cried and cried.
We gave her the best end of life we could. We took her daily in the car to her favorite places, fed her favorite foods, babied her, held her, stroked her, told her how much we loved her and how badly we would miss her. On Valentine’s Day she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She’s gone. Our hearts are broken.
Getting a new canine baby is so exciting and happy and carefree. You never think about how bad it will hurt when they die. Or get cancer. Or hurt. I so hope she’s happy and pain free wherever she is now. I love you so much, my baby girl!
