After the death of my Cocker
I searched every week at the SPCA for the right dog passing by
many until I was ready to make a decision.
And then I saw a Springer !
I kept thinking about her. My mind was made up.
I adopted her no name no history found as a stray.
Heidi was the name I called as in my favorite childhood book.
She slept on my bed with me from day one.
Two weeks later she fell off of the bed with a severe seizure.
In a panic I called the vet and took her into the emergency clinic.
We put her on medication that controlled her problem for 2 years.
One night at 3 AM in the morning once again Heidi had a seizure.
She never came out of it.
I took her into the emergency clinic.
It wasn’t the first time. They gave her valium as needed but there
was no response. “We can’t do anything more for you”.
I did not want to see her suffer any longer and made a
decision to put her out of her misery.
She died in my arms.
I still can see her sitting beside me on the sofa.
She had huge eyes that would look into mine for long periods
of time almost as if she adored and admired me.
Heidi was a gift.
