Guest Baloos_Mom Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 On October 11, 2006, we drove to Newton Falls to meet Maya. She was an 8 year old Rottweiler that had to find a new family because her parents had to sell their home and move to Nevada for a job. We took her home and decided that in her new life she should have a new name but similar so she became Mariah which she answered to straight away. She loved everyone right from the start..loved the cats a little too much at first but soon she fit right in. Mariah was Madison's protector.....so much so that when Madison yelled for her while in the tub, she came running and leaped right in with her....all 100lbs of her! We celebrated Ms. Mariah's 10th birthday with a big bash(July 2008)...all her doggie friends came and enjoyed the doggie pools, doggie birthday cake, and special doggie party favors too. Her foot was already showing some signs of trouble then and being a Rottie we knew that her 10th was a big deal. In November the vet decided that it was time to take the now tumor, a toe and do a biopsy. The prognosis was not good....it was cancerous and likely to come back and go everywhere but they had gotten all the cancer so we did have 5 months longer with her. Mariah is now in heaven with my Nikita, of Nikita's Wish, 8 years and one month to the day later! Though I didn't have her as long, she was such a huge part of our family and so much like Nik that it is uncanny! I will continue to rescue in honor of both of them and plan to always have a Rottweiler! I have been sick for a week knowing that the time was coming and now is not any easier!

tydyelady Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 So sorry about your beautiful Mariah. It is never easy, whether we know it is coming, or it is sudden. It is so special you got to celebrate her 10th birthday.

Fiona3 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I am so sorry for your loss. Mariah sounds like a sweet dog and how fortunate that you gave her such a wonderful home and lots of love when her family couldn't keep her. It always hurts to say goodbye but her memory will live on in every rescued Rottweiler you bring home. f_yellow Quote Hobbes - April 2, 1994 to April 9, 2008-----Tasha - May 23, 2000 to March 31, 2013 Fiona - Aug 29, 2001 to May 5, 2014-----Bailey - March 22, 2001 to Jan 20, 2015 Zeke - June 1, 2004 - Jan 26, 2016----Callie - July 14, 2006 to July 27, 2019 Forever in my heart: Chooch, Molly, Dylan & Lucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
