My dogs name was Lady.
She was born in 1980 died in March 2 2002.
Lady was with me for 15 yrs & she was the only one I could
count on to be there for me always.
When I woke up in the mornings her tail would hit the dryer
as she wagged it acknowledging that she was happy to see me.
She was by my side all the time.
When I went to see her at the hospital although she
could not walk she slid out of her cage to be close to me.
Then as I left she looked at me saying she wanted to go home.
I had no choice but to leave her As I didn’t want her
suffering any longer. She was my everything.
She was always there to greet me as I came home from work.
She protected me every minute of the day.
I know in my heart she loved me just as much as I loved her.
You can word it the way you would like just know she is
very much missed & there will be no other
Lady in my heart.
In the beginning
I answered an Ad for Lady in the newspaper.
The lady that had her said she needed to sell Lady as she had
another Pekingese & the other dog kept eating Ladies food.
So I decided to take her home with me.
On the ride home with my Sister-in-law Lady didn’t like
the ride in the car so she was scared & She tried to bite me.
I thought OK this is a pretty mean dog but Lady was the
kindest dog ever she just wanted her way.
I got her home & she was the best dog ever.
She stuck by me through moves from one house to another
through kids marriage & through my yelling at her when she had an
accident in the house.
As they say “All animals have their own personality”.
Lady had hers & she was my best friend.
She was there every day when I drove into the driveway from work.
Its as though she will say hello or welcome Or I really believe
by the expressions she was saying “I’m so glad to see you”.
When I came into the door she would sniff my pant leg
to make sure I was all hers.
Lady was a curious dog & I’m afraid her curiosity got the
best of her. She would want to go outside So when I got up
in the mornings to let her out She would either go out,
want right back in or she would go under the fence & take a
walk through the neighborhood just to see
what she was missing.
She wouldn’t be back by the time I had to leave for work
So my husband would come home about 2 hours later & find her
sitting on the porch waiting to be let back in.
Well the day came that she made her last walk.
She was hit by a car.
Somehow before my husband even got home She was
already at the humane society.
When I came home from work he asked if I had seen her outside.
Right away I knew something was wrong as Lady
always comes home.
She was at the Humane Society someone took her there
early that morning. I picked her up from there took her to the
Animal Hospital & they X-rayed her spine & found out her pelvic
was completely shattered & she could have surgery to fix her pelvic,
but her nerves were severely damaged so she would never
walk again. I went back to the hospital to see her the next day
& to make that dreadful decision & they opened the cage door
she looked up at me & crawled out of the cage.
I spent 2 hours with her that day apologizing for leaving for work
& she wasn’t at home.
Apologizing that I had to let her go put her to rest.
Apologizing for not being there when she was hit by the car
as I knew she would be for me.
But I looked back also at the wonderful times we had &
smiled at Lady as she looked into my eyes.
I said Lady I will see you again & know that I love you more
than anything but you’ve lived your life to the fullest &
I just thank God I was the lucky one to be a part of it!!
I truly believe she knew what I was saying to her.
I miss Lady terribly,
Having a very hard time coping with her absence
But I know she is resting now &
I WILL see her again.
