I'm not here to share the story of my death.
I'm here to share the story of my life...
Something happened in my life not too long ago, it was pretty terrible and I don't like to talk about it.
After that happened, I knew I couldn't trust people much... so I laid on the side of the road waiting for someone to hit me, hoping I would fall asleep and die.
Even though I had laid in the same spot for a few weeks, and was pretty sure I was finally starving to death, almost certain I would never know love, Laramie came my way. She pulled up and knew I needed her, sadly I couldn't tell her that it wouldn't be for long. Laramie and her friend Laurie spent the weekend working with me and giving me the best food I have ever tasted. They helped me drink water and showed me what love and hugs really feel like. On Friday the vet told them the chances of me being ok were slim, in my heart I was really hoping I would feel better too. Today things got worse. Laramie took me to the vet again, she was scared but did not think I could tell. Laurie cried.
In the car, she gently rubbed my head, silently praying she could fix me.
I wanted to stay with her forever, but I knew in my heart that I wasn't going to make it. But Laramie didn't know that yet... or she just refused to believe it, because she wasn't ready to let me go. When we got there, she talked to the vet. They ran a few tests, snuggled with me and cried some too.....Then... she looked at me, and gave me the most awesome hug, a lovely kiss and told me that I mattered and I was loved. That's how I knew it was okay to go. I headed to heaven May 14, 2012 and it's even more amazing than you could ever imagine. I feel good again, but I feel even better knowing that there is still kindness on Earth and even the smallest creatures can mean something to someone.
*Oh Sweet Pippa, my heart broke for you today, I can't believe humans can be so cruel and dogs like you can still smile and trust. You are now an angel. God is very lucky to have you home..... I thank him for letting me show you love.
