My Dear Sweet Foxy
When I first meet my sweet little girl, it was October 5, 1985. Someone had decided that since she had heartworms that she was not worth keeping. To that person that gave her up. They will never know the love and joy that my little sweetheart brought into my life. I have treasured every minute I had with her, some better than others but all of them will always be in my heart. We have traveled the country together and been through so much. She always knew when to make me laugh or when her mommy needed to just snuggle. I pray that I gave her as much love in return and let her know how much she was loved. Over the years that we had together, my little one has had some medical problems, but in the last year she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She was doing really well and even as of last week she had gained back up to 13 pounds (this is just one pound less than what she weighted when she was a lot younger). On Saturday a week ago, she got very sick and I rushed her to the vet. Even now, they do not know if she had a heart attack or what. I pray that it was not something that I did. She seemed to be getting better by this last Tuesday, but I had to leave her at the vet because I had to go out of town. This was the first time ever for her to be boarded. When I went to pick her up this last Friday, she seemed a little stiff, but I thought that it may be because she had been couped up. When we got home, she went to bed and only got up to go out or to eat a very little bit. On Saturday, she did not want to eat at all, not even her favorite chocolate cookies. This morning when she got up (more like I got her up), she did not want anything to eat or even a drink of water. I prayed all day for a change, but somewhere in my heart I knew that she was trying to tell me that she was ready to go be with God. So this afternoon (Sunday, January 16, 2000) at 4:45 p.m., I let my little one go. Through tears of sadness, I pray that she will be in a better place where she can run and play with no more pain. So my dear sweet Foxy mommy loves you with all her heart and misses you so much!! Please remember you will always be loved.
Hugzzz and kisses,
Mommy
