Dawnnziggy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I have tried to start this several times but I just could not get myself to finish it. Our sweet little girl is gone. I feel awful. I took her to the vet and had her put to sleep and she did not want to go into the vet's office. It seemed that she knew why we were there. She was suffering so much that I didn't want her to try to make it one more day. She was bleeding from her mouth and throwing up blood. She wouldn't eat anything. I tried baby food, ice cream, yogurt, chicken, cottage cheese, cheese, milk, cheese crackers, and anything else I could think of to try. She couldn't lay down for too long at a time without having to get up and move around. Anyway, I cannot think of her without tearing up. I think I feel more bad for myself because I miss her so much. We got Dawn in late August of 2005. She ran right up to our DS who was 6 and gave him a big kiss. I had read that they did not kiss and had told him that. Boy were we wrong. She was a big kisser. She loved her family, and gave us lots of kisses. She had a special bond with our DS. She slept with him every night. She would go in and stand by his bed for special loving. Then, she would flop onto her bed and sleep most of the night. He was hers. That was how it seemed. If there was a storm, she would go in his room and lay right beside his bed. She wanted to protect him. We hadn't had her for too long when we decided to go away. We usually took her with us but this time we didn't. My DH had just bought a huge bag of toilet paper. She had a heyday while we were gone. She shredded the whole bag! Our living room looked like it had been snowed in. I laughed and laughed and laughed. She trained us because we never left toilet paper out again. She was a great friend. We will miss her always. Run like the wind, Sweets and know that your mama misses you with all her heart! Run free Sweets! No more pain for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
