GOOD-BYE LITTLE SPRIG......
We had the honor of sharing our home and our love
with Sprig for the last eight years of her life.
We found her at The Humane Society in a small cage in the
cat room upset by the barking of the other dogs - anxiously
awaiting a lap to sit on & new people to love.
The workers there named her Sprig because she had a
long curly "sprig" of hair atop her little head.
She looked like a Disney creation & everyone who knew
her adored her even if at first they laughed at her looks.
Sprig loved everyone she met.
Sprig's time with us ended far too soon.
She suffered a broken neck after a big dog grabbed & shook her.
I will never forget those last moments when her limp
5 lb. body laid on a table at the animal hospital.
As the vet tried to assure me through her own tears that
we had made the only right choice she searched for a
tiny vein in those skinny legs.
Sprig somehow lifted her little head and her big
brown eyes looked at me as if to say "It's okay Mom"...
Then she laid her head down on my hand and she was gone.
We love you & will always miss you Sprigy.
