Good, good girl, my little, little girl,
my pretty baby girl
is such a good, good, girl…
Twinkie I was at work when you died in your sleep at home. It was 5:45 pm January 5, 2010 when your Daddy George told me about the bad news. I felt so guilty for not spending time with you lately. I’m so sorry. I used to take you with me to work every single day since I adopted you in October 1997. I got you from a small house in M Street, Bakersfield, CA. You were only 5 weeks old at the time. You were the smallest among the siblings. In a box you were all put together, so I can pick a puppy. All of your siblings are playful and flashy but I noticed that you were the only one that was kind of scared and was shaking. You were sitting in the far corner of the box, the sad look in your eyes told me to pick you. I can tell you were having a rough time there I guess, and I was a having a rough time too in my life.
I felt so alone and depressed that’s why I’m wanting a puppy dog to help me cope. I knew you ere the one for me. I figured we need each other. You were such a great help and joy in my life. I took you to my work every single day, we spent a lot of times together playing, snuggling, cruising around in my car and many more. We were so happy together. You were never left alone. Was never sick, but then last two years of your life, you were less active and seem to be developing some minor arthritis. You were too lazy to walk, you like to lay around even when you were eating. Although you look gorgeous and young looking, I can’t deny that you are aging and I must be prepared.
You don’t want to sleep with me ’cause you can’t jump on bed anymore, you were always hot & panthing. You like to sleep in front of the electric fan I provided you even in the winter times or you will sleep in the bathroom. I stop taking you to my workplace ’cause I just want you to be as comfortable as you can be in the house. I know you miss being next to me, but you know I miss you too. I can’t sleep in the bathroom with you and you can’t sleep on the bed with me. But that doesn’t mean I did not care for you.
Twinkie, you know how I love you. I adopted Peewee and Snuggles, so when you leave me behind, they will keep me company and help me when I grieve. I did not replace you Twinkie. You can never be replaced by any other pets. I love animals and you know that. We both love to have other pets in the house, we baby sat a lot of my friend’s dogs. You were very good in taking care of other animals and even with my grandchild Phebe when she was born in 2001.
You are truly a herding dog. I am so blessed and privelege to owned a Shetland Sheepdog like you for 12 wonderful years. Thank you so much Twinkie. You are my bestest friend in this crazy world. We were there for each other when nobody cares. It’s about love, friendship and loyalty. I’m gonna miss you everyday and forever. You are the Angel GOD sent just for me.
You are my little shining star. I’ll pray and ask Jesus for my salvation so I can go to heaven where you are. And pray for me too. For now Peewee and Snuggles will keep me company. S o wait for us. Know that you will never be forgotten, you will always be in my heart.
I will always love you...
