My Sissy January31, 1993 - March 18 2005

It is with a broken heart that I tell you all that my Sissy passed
this life .
She had been feeling great for the last several days, had
been up this morning and ate and had meds. She went out
shortly before I was to leave for work, and a few minutes before
i left, I noriced that she had some grass on her mouth. I got it off
and I thought that she just seemed " off", something you know
but cannot explain. As i was gathering my things to leave, she
went into the living room where Vic was eating the rest of his
dinner, and she looked at what he was eating and suddenly her
back legs went out, and she collapsed to the floor..Vic was
right there and I heard him and I came into the room and her
legs were stretched out in front of her and i thought she was
having a seizure......I looked at her and she was staring straight
ahead, very limp, very cold, and unresponsive. She finally
blinked and I was on the phone straight away calling the vet
to see if I could bring her in right away, and within 5 minutes
of her attack we were out the door. She was labored breathing
and seemed to go in and out on the way down, and when we
got there Dr. Wheeler said she was in full cardiac arrest.
  He gave her an IV of Lasix, but he said that it was time to let
her go, she was really really bad. She was having a very hard
time breathing and there was just nothing else I could do for
her and I had to let her go.  It was the hardest thing I have ever
had to do, and I have lost my best friend. I love her so much,
I cannot imagine life without her.  I hope she will be happy and
that God will watch after my precious baby, and that she will
be waiting for me,  and forgive me .  Thank you to every single
one of you for your thoughts and prayers for Sissy. The vet
had told me in January that she wouldn't be here for more than
a couple weeks, and I am very grateful for the extra time we
had together--I guess there is never enough time when you
think about it, forever would not be long enough. I don't think
with out all the prayers for her that she would have been here
this long. I am going to really miss my little baby girl, my heart
is broken.

There has never been a more perfect little girl and I cry for
you every day.  I will always have an empty spot in my heart
because you are gone from my life. I miss you, Skeeter, and
will always love you with all my heart.

Suzie came to us about a year and a half ago. Her owner died and his wife didn't want to be bothered by her. She was  incontinent and it was obvious they didn't like each other.  She jumped into my truck and never looked back. She was trained off leash and had the most pleasant disposition I ever saw. She had a smile for everyone.    She loved car rides and gardening with me. I was told  she never played and not to bother with toys. After a few  months here she never stopped playing.    I am happy she joined us for her last years on earth.  Now she is at peace with the man she truly loved and missed.  June 16, 2005
