Scrappy

Bearded Collie

We got Scrappy from an animal shelter five years ago.

The woman who owned the shelter told us he was five years old.

His family had abandoned him. When we took him to the vet,

the vet said that Scrappy was at least ten.

My parents separated four years ago and the past four years have

been torturous for my family. My mother and father fought alot.

I lived with neighbours my mum my dad relatives…every where

I went Scrappy came with me. He was my baby.

He slept by my side and snored so loudly that I couldn’t sleep!

I love Scrappy so much.

When my mother remarried in June Scrappy came with me to

live with her. He was 15. In her house there are three levels…

Scrappy’s arthritis was very bad. He could hardly walk.

We figure Scrappy got his name because he loved food so much that

he would always wait around the kitchen for scraps.

When we got new bags of dog food he slept with them during the day.

The last week of Scrap’s life he wasn’t eating.

We knew it was time for him to go.

I held him in my arms at the vet’s office and he died peacefully.

I miss him so much. I fear I will never find a friend like him a friend

who will love me no matter what.

Scrappy my dearest.

My babes.

My love.

I love you.

I miss you.
