Renee by Susan

I am wondering around my house today with Renee in my
thoughts feeling very sad.
It has been well over a year since she has passed but the hurt is still there.
She was ill and we took her to the vet they had told us several different
things that was wrong with her.
It was terrible to visit with her in the hospital she had a pain patch on
that made her so dopey and I felt so bad for her but we wanted to
do everything that we could to make her well again and back at home.
After four days in the hospital we were told by the vet that we could
take her home to recover.
We rushed there happy to take her home she did not look well
and the vet wanted to keep her one more day but we
would not have it.
We had been told by the vet that she should show improvement
in the next several days.
My husband put her on my lap and we drove off we were three quarters
of the way home when I noticed that she was not breathing and
I started crying for her not to leave.
I pulled off the pain patch and my husband pulled over and started
to work on her I told him that there was a fire department not to
far from where we were and he turned around quickly.
We pulled up to the station and the men came out and they took her
from my lap I watched and cried as they tried their
hardest to bring her back but they could not.
As we left to bring the baby home she was back in my lap and
I screamed and cried so loudly.

To this day I don’t think those men heard anything so sad and
I am sure if they had pets when they got home they gave them a hug.
I was grateful to those men for the effort that they gave.
Even though it has been over a year since Renee has left us,
I can never forget the day and I know that I had been given a gift
that she was with us when she left this world and
not in a cage in the hospital.

We will always love her,

Mike Susan Pancho and
the rest of the family
