I got Braxton and Dutches in August 2003. When I came home from school that day my mom told me to look behind the door. I did and immediately screamed at the sight of two scrawny scared babies curled up. They were so ugly they were cute I immediately fell in love. Braxton was salt and pepper colored and Dutches was Black with blond highlights. We had alot of fun in those few short months.
Than one day some stray dogs showed up we didn’t know at the time that those dogs were sick they seemed to get along good with our dogs so we decided to let them stay till we found them a good home. Well about ten days after they showed up Braxton started getting sick he was throwing up blood and wouldn’t eat. We took him to the vet and they gave him lots of medicine. They told us he had Parvo and that he wouldn’t make it. Well we took him home and doctored him he started getting better and he was jumping around.
We were so happy we thought he would make it. Then our dreams were crushed when he became sick again. Braxton died crowded by people who loved him on Halloween 2003. Then one day after Braxton’s death Dutches became sick with the same thing we doctored her and doctored her forcing food and water but on November 2, 2003 Dutches went off into the woods and didn’t make it back.
I pray to god every night that he will take good care of my little babies whom he brought to earth and then took back.
Love always and a day,
