GreyhoundNan Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I don't know much about her life before she came to us in April of 2001, except that she had three litters of pups and three of those were adopted out by the same adoption group Liz was. When she arrived and I went to pick her up at the holding kennel, she was brown and dirty and had no fur from her ribcage backward. She had on an orange plastic collar with the word LIZ written on it in marker, and as soon as I opened her crate to greet her she came charging out of it. She was with us as a foster for about 6 months, from the end of April to the end of September, 2001. She did go stay with another family for a very short time because they thought about adopting her, but she was returned to us for not getting along well with their little dogs. She was in active heat for about 3 months due to a cyst on one of her ovaries. She had breath that could stop a truck. Since then, both the cyst and all of her teeth have been removed. And one night she crawled into the bed with me and crawled under the comforter and into my heart. She has done more and lived longer than any of us thought she would. The six months we expected after we adopted her became just shy of four years. She's been to book signings, seen the beach, eaten sushi, and been to the renn fest to have a turkey leg. She has been our alarm clock, both to prevent oversleeping and to remind me that it's 4:30 sharp, time for doggie tea. She is my light and my love, and she's going to the bridge tonight. Her body can't keep up with her spirit anymore. She's got a way B. Joel She's got a way about her I don't know what it is But I know that I can't live without her She s got a way of pleasin' I don't know what it is But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway She's got a smile that heals me I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She's got a way of talkin' I don't know why it is But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere She comes to me when I'm feelin' down Inspires me without a sound She touches me and I get turned around She's got a way of showin' How I make her feel And I find the strength to keep on goin' She's got a light around her And ev'rywhere she goes A million dreams of love surround her ev'rywhere She comes to me when I'm feelin' down Inspires me without a sound She touches me and I get turned around She's got a smile that heals me I don't know why it is But I have to laugh when she reveals me She's got a way about her I don't know what it is But I know that I can't live without her anyway I love you sweet Momma...I'll do my best to take care of the pups just like you've taken care of me.
