I taught my brothers the importance of small things in life. Like what how wonderful peanut butter in a Kong on a Saturday morning was to me. Also, taking things off of the coffee table, this was totally off limits!
Well, I got my wish! On Feb 13th, 2008; she mustered up enough courage after 10 years; to get her left hip fixed. I later found out this was for me. What amazing love she carries for me. She wanted nothing more than to walk me miles and miles.
She got her dream to walk me on April 5th at 3:30p.m.
I got 5 good months out of her new leg, before I fell ill; and she had to make the hardest decision of her life.
She didn't realize that when she gave me a new treat on September 5th 2008, that I always got to excited to chew them. Ironically, Luna; the next pooch to love my mom was born on this day.
On September 19th 2008 I had surgery to remove the Crunch 'em clean bone from my small intestine. They had to give me 16 stitches. I worried my mom very much. I knew this was my last battle. I wanted my mom to be able to say goodbye & take care of herself.
On September 20th 2008 my mom came to get me from AMC. I was still so sick; I was carried out on a stretcher.
I just wanted to be home and not make more bills for her. I was in my house 10 minutes, when my incision started to rupture. She tried to stabilize me with her left arm. When my brothers barked at me, is when I started to go into shock. She was in a pure panic attack, at the thought and site of losing me. I was rushed to Dove Lewis in NW. Where the vet on staff told her that I wasn't going to make it & the humane thing to do was to let me go.
At 6:47 p.m. she decided to let me sleep forever & play with my friend chewy.
I was ready to be out of my sick body. The second the vet put the syringe into my IV, my mom placed her left hand on my chest and felt me take my last; shallow breath. I felt re leaved when it happened, but I still ended up going home with her. I needed to make sure she was going to pull through. She needed some sort of closure out of me being taken from her so unexpectedly.
She had me cremated, and has made a ceramic Kong Urn for my ashes. I also am resting in Meat in a Tennis Ball Urn as well.
*Let your loved ones go, and if it’s meant to be they will return to you*
