Malty was originally my mom’s friend’s dog who’s son bought him for her but then she no longer wanted after a year. I was 14 at the time and begged my mom to let us keep him and after days of begging she finally caved in. Malty was to be my dog but he actually became mine and my aunt’s furchild (my aunt lived with us). He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the she’d but that only made him more adorable and lovable in my eyes. He wasn’t exactly house trained and after one session at obedience school the trainer said he was the most stubborn dog and would never learn…I found that hysterical and it made me love him even more
then I thought possible.
Years went by and I moved away to LA and then to NY but I didn’t take malty because his home was with my aunt and my family in Maryland. I did however always look forward to seeing his sweet face whenever I would go home and sometimes I would make my mom put the phone next to his ear so I could tell him how much I miss him.
On two occasions I got into fights (actually punched a guy) for bothering him…there’s nothing I wouldn’t have done for my little boy.
On August 9, 2007 at the age of 17 my sweet angel died in my aunt’s arms on the way to the vet. he woke my aunt up with his whimpering and he was having trouble standing and breathing. She held him on the way to the vet’s office and told him it was ok to go and how much she loved him. He went on his own before they made it there which I am thankful for cause I don’t think I would have been able to handle having to make that choice for him.
Its been 2 months, one week and 4 days since Malty went to rainbow bridge. There is not a single day that goes by that I don’t think about him and to this day I still cry over losing the first love of my life…Malty. I can’t believe i will never get to hold him again or kiss his face or let him lick my hand for hours on end. I would do anything to be able to hold him and kiss him and tell him how much I love him. I miss you so much Malty and I will always love you.
I cannot wait until we meet again. I hope it’s soon. Truer words were never spoken when someone wrote “they say memories are golden, well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories I only wanted you.” I will always want you, Malty.
Love,
| Malty |
