GreyTzu Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Today we said good-bye to the most perfect girl in the world, our Deuce. Deuce formally known as FTH Tinkerbell aka Mohawkie Girl aka Miss Mohawkie aka Deucie aka Deucieness aka Deucilious aka My Little Girl aka Cheeze-ball aka Miss Mohawkieness aka Fashion Advisor and My Perfect Little Girl. I knew you were mine within 5 minutes of your birth. Cathie said you had a mohawk and I called first dibs! As the underdog of the litter, Cathie and Bill had to do puppy CPR to help you breathe, but I knew you belonged to me. Ten days later when I went to Jax. to pick up Dessie, the deal was sealed. You snuggled into me and I cuddled your tiny body. Yeah, ok, so I almost dropped you, but hey you know things happen. You became my perfect little girl. Your first collar, ridiculously too big, came from Sandy Paws, and it was a perfect pink camouflage. The look you gave me: “Hey, are you too stupid to see how big this is?” was priceless. With a heavy sigh, you wandered off, with my heart. My perfect little girl. You raced, you won, you didn’t, and you tried again and again until it was retirement time. It was a fun weekend to Jax and home you came, complete with a spay infection. A hot compress on for the next two weeks as the advice and you sure took that seriously. Anytime you saw the bowl and a washcloth, you flopped over for your spa treatment, replete with your signature cheese-ball grin. My perfect little girl. Timid and cautious was your nature, until you assessed the situation. Once the initial observations were complete, next on the agenda was charming people, and you always did with you sweet and loving nature. People quickly adored you and were charmed b your gentleness. Patient, tender, soft, and honorable was always your face. Our home grew, changed, shrank, was stressful, and always fun of love, and you faced it all with such graceful aplomb. My perfect little girl. Getting dressed was never lonely, because you were always on the bed watching and offering the best fashion advice. Moreover, bedtime was an adventure in kisses and whispered adulations of love. However, you were so funny because you didn’t want an arm or hand resting on you for long. A twitch, a wiggle, and a nonchalant movement and off my arm or hand would fall. There was always room on the bed for you and that was where you wanted to be when I was in the bedroom. My perfect little girl. Besides loving everyone in our home, you sure loved treats and your food bowl. Just about anything that ended up in the bowl was devoured. No bananas, but anything else was fair game. And you were the champion treat mugger. Just one look into your loving gaze with your sly grim, yeah, extra treats for you. Not to mention that you always laid quietly in the kitchen watching me cook. A quick glance would see Quinny cat rubbing on your face and you just sniffing him with your eyes closes as you enjoyed his attentions. I recall a times when he head-butted you so hard, your mouth snapped shut and your head bounced up. You loved every minute of it. My perfect little girl. Corns plagued you for the past two years. We marinated your feet, rubbed, and prodded them, and continued to love. The limp was from the corns because they were HUGE. It came and went. Boots worked for a while and you thrived, ate, and mugged for treats. Finally, I knew and x-rays confirmed my worst fear. My perfect little girl. The decision was the hardest. We spent the past week protecting you and your fragile leg. But sometimes you still cried and panted. My head knew, but my heart resisted. As an animal lover, we have to do what it best your our beloved companions. That is what we signed up for when we love a dog. We always choose to do what is best for the animal. It does not get easier and I vacillated many times, but I knew I would not be able to live with myself if the leg broke. Together we made the decision. You lived on roast beef, ice cream, and treats. It was a good week. I cried and held you, whispering in your ear. My perfect little girl. While the first five minutes of your life were among the most joyous moments in my life and the last five minutes are the most heartbreaking. I love you and I will miss you forever. Another greyhound will come along into our lives, of that I can be sure. Another greyhound will steal my heart I am sure. However, no one will ever be you. My perfect little girl. When the sun is shining, I will miss you. As the sun rises on a beautiful day, I will miss you. With glittering stars in the night sky like the diamonds in your eyes I will miss you. Raindrops will mask my tears as I miss you. Every day, every hour, every second, I will miss you. Forever in my heart. My perfect little angel. Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd.

4My2Greys Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Wendy, your tribute was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Reading it made me think of both Beanie, my perfect little girl and Chase, whose leg I too prayed would not shatter while I stole two extra days to be with him before saying goodbye. I am so very sorry for your loss of one so dear to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
