Sheltie
Abby was bought for my son when he was just 2 years old.
We knew Shelties were good with kids so we decided it would be a good pet.
We went to a Kennel that breeds Shelties and picked the one we wanted
when Abby was just 1 week old. That way we got the one we wanted.
When it was time to pick her up we all were so excited because we love
animals and I had an Alaskan Spitz for 13 years before she died
from being ran over.
As the my son and her grew they became best friends.
Abby was the best dog in the world. No matter how mean Andrew was to her
when he was younger she never attempted to bite him.
I am sure she thought about it a few times though. When she was six months
old she was stolen and we new we would never see her again but to our
luck a year went by and we found out where she was and confronted the
people who had her. To make a long story short we took the people to
court and we won!! We were so happy to have her back.
It’s like she remembered us and she was happy to be home again.
Time passed and as Andrew grew older so did she.
When Andrew turned 8 he had a little sister and by the time she got old
enough to pull Abbys hair and treat her like a horse again Abby never
tried to bite her. Abby was our best friend and we loved her so.
She was a part of our family and the last day of her life was a devastating one
because in the evening of March 28,2000 she was a victim of hit and run.
My neighbors found her and let us know and we rushed her to the vet and she
had a broken leg which could of been fixed and she was in alot of shock.
We were hoping for the best but when we thought she might make it we left
her at the vets and I had just gotten home and they called and said
5 minutes after we left she took a turn for the worse and passed away.
It’s like she didn’t want to die in front of me and the kids that she loved
so much. She was always a fighter and to me she fought until we left
and then let God take her with him to a place where she would be in no pain.
She will never be forgotten and we always be remembered in our hearts.
For now I am trying to ease the pain of my son.
He has really taken it hard but what can you say and do?
ABBY,
WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU HURT NO MORE!
Andrew
