HELLO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING I LOVE ANIMALS OF ALL KINDS. I HAVE OWNED MANY AND LOST MANY BUT THE PAIN OF LOSING A PET, A FAMILY MEMBER HAS NEVER LESSENED. BUT THIS STORY IS OF ONE I NAMED TIGGER.
IT ALL STARTED WITH MY COUSIN SHE HAS NO LOVE FOR ANIMALS WHAT SO EVER I AM ASHAMED OF CALLING HER MY COUSIN, AND EVEN THOUGH SHE DOES NOT CARE FOR ANIMALS SHE INSISTS ON BRINGING NEW PUPPIES AND DOGS HOME JUST
TO BE STARVED AND MISTREATED.
WELL ANYWAYS WHEN HER DOGS HAVE PUPPIES SHE DOES NOT TRY TO FIND THEM HOMES, SHE JUST LETS THEM DIE AS YOUNG BABIES OR SHE HAS HER BROTHER SHOOT THEM WHEN SHE TIRES OF THEM. SO, WHEN ONE OF HER DOGS NAMED PETEY A BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND WHITE PIT BULL HAD BABIES BY HER BROWN AND WHITE BOXER NAMED MAX, SHE HAD THEM UNDER MY DAD’S HOUSE I TOOK THE PUPPIES AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHER AT 3 WEEKS OLD. I WENT TO THE CO-OP AND BOUGHT THE STUFF TO FEED THEM AND BOTTLES. I BOTTLE FED THEM EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS BY THIS TIME I HAD BECOME ATTACHED TO A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BRINDLE COLORED MALE AND
NAMED HIM TIGGER.
ANYWAYS I GOT THEM BIG AND FAT AND HEALTHY. I ONLY LOST ONE. SHE JUST DIDN’T TAKE WELL TO EATING. I BURIED HER UNDER THE TREE UP THE ROAD, WHERE WE BURY ALL OUR LOST PETS. I TOOK THEM AND FOUND THEM ALL GOOD HOMES. I KEPT TIGGER FOR MYSELF. AND MY MOM ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FEMALE RUNT AND NAMED HER SHONI. SHE IS BLACK
WITH RED HIGH LIGHTS.
TIGGER WAS SWEET. WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 5 MONTHS OLD WE CAME HOME ONE NIGHT AND TIGGER AND MY BROTHERS PUPPY(CHANCE)A PIT BULL WERE REALLY SICK AND POOPING BLOOD. I PUT THEM IN A ROOM BY THEM SELVES AND WAS TAKING THEM TO THE VET THE NEXT MORNING BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET A HOLD OF THE VET THAT NIGHT. SO THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I GOT UP CHANCE HAD PASSED AWAY. SO I GOT TIGGER PUT HIM IN A BOX TO GET READY TO TAKE HIM TO THE VETS AND DROP MY MOM OFF A WORK. WHILE I WAS IN THE HOUSE WHERE MY MOTHER BABY-SAT I HEARD A TINY SCREAM TYPE SOUND. I WENT OUT TO CHECK ON TIGGER AND HE HAD PASSED AWAY. IT BROKE MY HEART FIRST CHANCE THEN TIGGER. I TOOK HIM HOME AND BURIED THEM UNDER THE BLOSSOM TREE TOGETHER.
THE VET THINKS IT WAS PARVO. I JUST KNOW I MISS THEM VERY MUCH, BUT THAT’S NOT THE END ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER I WAS MISSING THEM SO MUCH AND MY OTHER COUSINS SMALL DOG HAD PUPPIES SO I ASK IF I COULD HAVE ONE. SO I BROUGHT HOME A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FUR BALL. I NAMED TEAK. I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. HE SLEPT WITH ME EVERY NIGHT AND FOLLOWED ME EVERY WHERE. ONLY TWO MONTHS AFTER I HAD TEAK HE DEVELOPED A VERY BAD ILLNESS WE TOOK HIM TO THE VETS BUT HE WAS TOO FAR GONE AND I DID NOT CATCH IT IN TIME. AND HE PASSED AWAY IN THE NIGHT (HEART BROKEN AGAIN).
I WAS BEGINNING TO GET A COMPLEX. I DIDN’T KNOW IF I SHOULD TRY AGAIN OR NOT I THOUGHT IT WAS ME. WELL THREE MONTHS LATER MY BROTHER GAVE ME A SHIZU I KNOW I SPELLED THAT WRONG. WELL I NAMED HER WILLOW I HAVE HAD HER FOR 3 MONTHS AND SHE IS DOING GREAT SHE IS BEST FRIENDS WITH SHONI TIGGERS SISTER. I LOVE HER SO MUCH I HOPE I HAVE HER A LONG TIME. BY THE WAY BY THIS TIME TIGGER AND SHONIS PARENTS HAD BOTH PASSED ON AND
THEY WERE PRETTY YOUNG DOGS. SAD!!
WITH MUCH LOVE,
