Being single and living on my own I made the
decision to get a dog. I found one at a local shelter and fell in love
with him immediately. Well since I was single and worked many hours
I got Chewy a companion. She was a little Shih Tzu and Pekinese mix.
I found her at the same shelter I got Chewy from. Mimi was matted
and looked horrible. I didn’t care. She was what I wanted.
When I got her home I bathed her and cut the knots out of her hair.
Over the next few months the love I felt for her only grew with
each passing day. I know she felt the same even though she
was always aloof.
As the years passed I married and my husband and I moved
into an apartment. My dogs are my children and always will be.
Well she got left outside by mistake and I lost her.
I was just heart broken because I couldn’t find her.
Eventually she showed up at a local pound and I brought her
home right away.
She had traveled 2 miles to a local gas station where some kind
soul had taken her in. In the next few years her health began to fade
and she passed away on July 13th 1998.
She had always been my problem child because of her
health reasons but this only made her dearer to my heart.
She now is memorialized on a shelf in the livingroom.
I had her cremated and I keep her always near.
I know she is in heaven awaiting my coming home where
once again we can be together.
I miss her something awful and it was hard to let her go,
but God wanted her more than I.
+I will never forget her and the little things she did that
warmed my heart and made me laugh.
