Let me take a moment to tell you alittle about my dog, Bambie Zasha Febus. She fought a long battle against Addison Disease. This disease claimed her life on December 6, 2002. This is not a sad story but a story of Love,
devotion and determination.
Since birth Bambie was diagnosed with this disease. Even though she was in alot of pain and weakness, she had a long desire to live for seven years. You could always see it in her brown crystal eyes. She was such a happy dog fill with love toward me. Her tail was constantly wagging, her eyes eager to please and to live and always smiling by showing her upper teeth. Her love and devotion was beyond question. She would have giving her life without question for me. She trust me to the fully. She allowed me to administer her medication oral or by injection.
Yes, Bambie was a spoiled brat.
I treated her up to the final day where she laid in my arms, laboring for breath, still looking at me with those brown crystal eyes. So full of love and laid so peaceful into my arms, with the utmost trust. Even on that day she was so devoted refusing to let go of her life and pain for me.
On that night of December 6, I held her so tight and kiss her to insure her that is all right to let go. I held her knowing is was going to be our last hug and softly told her,” Bambie you must go and let go of me, now is time for you to be pain free and must meet with your boddy Nikko. Nikko need you now and is time for you to play with him without any limitation and pain.” As I tried to repeated to her over and over my heart felt that is was being shatter in pieces and my tears roll down my face onto her with no controlled.
I also told her and I know she believe me when I told her,” Bambie you know I love you, miss you alot and would never forget you but you most be free from all your disease and meet with Nikko, He love you and is waiting for you in a better place and take care of me from up above.” As those sad words came out I could actually feel her heart drift aways from me and life.
We both laid down in her bed, my body shaking, tears out of controlled. She laid so peaceful between my arms, like she was out of all her pain and illness. I kiss her and her beautiful crystal brown eyes still shinning with love and trust and went to sleep. Her eternal sleep.
Let me tell you a little more about Bambie. I have never seen such a spoil and clean dog in my life. Trust me when I tell you having alot of dogs she was the most clean one. I had to wipe her booty with wippies, her water dish had to be hair free and always have to have cold fresh water and while eating if she would dropped food on the floor she would bark until I came over to pick it up for her. If I bathed her, I would have to feed her with her spoon and after wipe her mouth clean so her fur won’t get dirty. If you think that was bad, you had to see her with her bed and blankets. Her blanket always had to be fresh and smell fabric softener, otherwise she would have a fit and throw things around the room, she would do the same with my bed. I sometimes thought that she believe that she was a human instead of 105 lb. Rottweiler.
Bambie also love to be carry or for me to just hold her and brush her hair. When it was time to go to sleep I had to put her favorite pillow and blanket. I always had to rock her, kiss her, hold her tight till she goes to sleep. Bambie also had her favor food it was pizza, pasta, soup with lots of noodle, pine apple, papaya but those who knew her knew it was bread. We used to drive to the bakery and pick up the bread drive through. I really enjoyed looking at her every time, her face would glow so much as we approached the corner of the bakery. She sat patiently as we drove drove through and picked up the warm loaf of bread and she always bark at the employees as we receive the bread, like thanking them all. Bambie will be miss also by the employees of the bakery. Like they said, ” We have never seen such a special dog who really love breads.”
Bambie will be missed by her six other dog and her cat. Who also had better control of them all. I used to say for having alto of pets I had everything under controlled but little that I knew it wasn’t me it was Bambie. Bambie has always been the leader of the group.
Since she has been gone the other dogs are out of controlled and won’t listen to me, perhaps is their way of showing they miss her too.
We will never forget you and keep you with us always in our heart. Grandma Iris, who was always there for you and cooked for you; Titi Rosemary who help you when I had hard time finding your medication; Kimberly who was there in good and bad time and also missed you manipulating her with the feeding her with a spoon; Jose who gave you mango and send you always papaya; Cleo Patra who you thought her where to have her puppies for two week before delivery of eight pups, cries alot when she laid down in your bed, cries with me when I think of you and miss you when you get into each other face, Quiennie who miss you every night when you used to give her a kiss to sleep and a kiss every morning; Nikko Jr. missed you standing up to him from me, Ucac that for a little miniature pincher she always wanted to be just like you a leader not a little brat; Celine Von Dion and Sabastian who every after dinner they sat around you for you to clean their ears and Albie the cat that you and Nikko rescue from a park when she was only 2 week old and till this day she sit on your gave and cries till I place her on one of your blanket.
Bambie, I miss you more then ever. I missed taking care of you and doing everything for you. I will never forget you and love you for the special dog you was and for your unconditional love. May you and Nikko Von rottie be together and will take care of me from up above.
With Love In Memory of Bambie Zasha Febus,
