MY HUSBAND AND I GOT DOBIE WHEN SHE WAS 7 WEEKS OLD. WE LOVED DOBIE LIKE SHE WAS OUR OWN CHILD.
SHE WAS A VERY PLAYFULL PUPPY. WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 12 WEEKS OLD SHE STARTED TO LOOK SICK, WE TOOK HER
STRAIGHT TO THE VET THEY TOLD US SHE HAS MITES. SHE WAS TREATED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL SHE GOT BETTER. AFTER ALL THE MEDICATION SHE FINALLY LOOKED LIKE A NORMAL DOG. THROUGH ALL THIS DOBIE WAS STILL DOBIE. SHE STILL WANTED TO GO OUTSIDE, CHEW ON EVERYTHING AND STILL BE THE LOVING DOG AS WE KNOW HER TO BE.
DOBIE WAS THE SWEETEST DOG I’V EVER MET. SHE WAS GREAT WITH KIDS AND LOVED OTHER ANIMALS. AFTER ALL THAT NOW SHES 9 MONTHS OLD. SHE STARTED TO LOOK SICK AGAIN. WE TOOK HER BACK TO THE VET AND THEY TOLD US SHE HAS HOT SPOTS NOW WE HAD TO GET SPECIAL SHAMPOO. SHE STARTED TO BITING HERSELF DOWN TO THE SKIN, YOU COULD IMAGE WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD NO HAIR. AFTER A MONTH OF GOING BACK IN FORTH THINGS JUST WEREN’T GETTING ANY BETTER BECAUSE OF HER BITING SHE BLEEDS EVERWHERE NOW DOBIE’S ONLY 10MONTHS OLD BUT SHE ACTS LIKE SHE’S 15 YEARS EVERYTHING SLOWED DOWN
SHE DIDN’T WANT TO GO OUTSIDE SHE DIDN’T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE ALL SHE WOULD DO IS LAY THERE AS DAYS WENT ON SHE GOT WORSE ON EASTER WE DECIDED TO TAKE HER A THE EMERGENCY ANIMAL HOSPITAL THINKING THEY’LL BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING SINCE MY VET WASN’T I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN
WHEN WE GOT THERE THEY LOOK AT HER AND THEN RIGHT AWAY THE DOCTOR WANTED TO SPEAK TO US. NOW YOU KNOW THAT CAN’T BE GOOD THE DOCTOR TOLD US THAT SHE HAS MAINGE WHICH COMPLETELY TOLD OVER HER WHOLE BODY BECAUSE SHE’S BEEN FIGHTING THINGS SINCE A BABY HER BODY GAVE UP AND COULDN’T FIGHT ANYMORE HE THEN TOLD US SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE PUT TO SLEEP THE DOCTOR COMPARED HER BODY TO SOMEONE HAVING THIRD DEGREE BURNS MY POOR BABY WAS IN PAIN AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. THEY ALSO GAVE US THE OPTION TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT NO MATTER WHAT SHE’LL NEVER BE THE DOBIE WE KNOW AND LOVE SHE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE PILLS THE REST OF HER LIFE AND BE ON I-V THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING FLUID IN HER AND SHE WOULD ALWAYS HAVE SOME PAIN.
THIS WAS THE HARDEST THING I’V EVER HAD TO DO I GAVE THEM THE OK TO DO WHAT THEY HAD TO DO BUT I WANTED TO BE WITH HER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY I GAVE HER MY LAST HUGS AND KISSES WHICH I DIDN’T WANT TO LET GO SHE WOULDN’T MOVE FROM MY SIDE AND I KNOW WHY SHE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON
THE LAST SECONDS OF HER SHORT LITTLE LIFE WERE SPEND WITH HER MOMMY AND DADDY RIGHT BEFORE THEY PUT HER TO SLEEP I GOT TO DO ONE THING AND THAT WAS PETTING HER HEAD AND SAYING I LOVE YOU NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHE’S GONE LAYING SO PEACEFUL NO PAIN AND NOW SHE’S IN DOGGIE HEVAN I MISS HER SO MUCH.
BUT I KNOW SHE’S BETTER OFF WE’LL ALWAY LOVE HER AND MISS HER BUT WE DID THE RIGHT THING.
A LITTLE MESSAGE FOR OUR LITTLE GIRL WE LOVE AND MISS YOU AND SEE YOU SOMEDAY SOON
