Evie by Linda Kucinskas / Mommy

Evie was my baby, a Golden Retriever/Cocker Mix, all black. We got her from a shelter, at six weeks of age. She was a very well behaved, dog and was always at my side. Loved going for rides with me, and climbing up on our bed for a few minutes of cuddle time. She was 16 going on 17 years of age. She helped me through some real rough times; she was always there for me.

She sensed danger when our tv. caught fire from our cable box, and pushed the off button with her nose never having done this before. Saved my son when left in the care of my daughter, having fallen on a glass, with bare feet and needing 19 stitches went by herself next door and got the neighbors help till the ambulance and I got home to him. She had a seizure years ago and never had
another till about a month ago.

Never complaining having a severe ear infection and not being able to tell me, got stressed out and started having them again and again. Thinking because she was barely able to walk right, I would have to have her put asleep went to the vets to do so and they tried meds and injections of antibiotics. With my hand feeding, within a two week period regained her ability to walk run and go for car rides again. And her favorite was a roll in the new snow. Having to do this was not a problem for me for I loved her dearly and would do anything for her to make her better.

Having been assured by the doctor that she was not suffering and was doing better, It looked like she would recovered. I was able to accept that she probably would not be around very long, and would just live each day knowing how much we loved each other. She I believe, stayed just long enough to let me know she loved me, and to see that I was ok. I truly believe God gave me this special Dog, to fill my emptiness. That she gave me more than I can say. That God blesses those, who love the animals that are given to us to love and take care of. I did not ever think that I could love a dog as much as I did my EVIE! Mommy’s little angel! Whom I will miss with all my heart.

 

Love you Evie , Mommies angel!
