Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy.
Mi Little Ucac was born at Union City Animal Clinic. (UCAC) When her mom and dad were brought to the clinic to get spayed and neutered, we realized that her mom was pregnant. As we opened the sack, we noticed that little thing was gasping for air. I couldn’t believe how small she was. Ucac was smaller than a mouse… Dr. Napalis thought she was about two weeks premature. The doctor told me to take her home and bring her back the next day if she was still alive. No one thought she would survive. Now we all know she did. I brought her back the next day and showed her mother and owner, but her mother rejected her. She was in pain from and was in pain from the surgeries. The owner said I could take her with home and keep her if she made it. I kept my promise until today.
Ucac grew up with Rottweilers. I called her my “Mini Rottie”, even though she was a Miniature Pincher. At only 6 pounds, she was worse than all my 9 Rottweilers. Trust me when I say worse! I couldn’t believe Ucac had such a big attitude! She was known as the attitude adjuster. In action as she bullied of all of the other dogs. Trust me when I say size does not matter. She dominated the pack Ucac bit them and put them all in their place. Especially if anything of hers was taken or moved from where she wanted it…
I will miss her dearly, my Mini Rottie. At about 5:04 AM, I heard Storm, one of Rotties, barking frantically. She jumped on and off my bed. . Like she saying hurry come hurry Ucac needs you. When I got up she dragged me to where Ucac was. I noticed that UCAC was having difficult breathing and could have been having a heart attack. I grabbed her and place her next to me as Storm crying got worse and worse… All the other dogs gathered them selves around us both. As I spook to her at that moment I knew that it was going to be her last night with us all. Storm began to rub her little chest and bark at me like if she was saying” go ahead, do something! Please save her! Don’t let her die”. As the others tried to get closer to her, Storm refused to aloud them. Slowly I noticed Ucac was gasping for air and was fading away. I held her, and said to her, “You are my Little Mini Rottie, I will always love you and you will be taking with you a big part of my heart. Storm cries got louder; her head was still close to her chest as she kissed Ucac.
She knew it was time to say the last goodbye. The moment came when Ucac’s fight for life ended and was drifted away from us for good. All of a sudden it got quiet. All of her 8 Rottweiler brothers and sisters laid down, quiet, with their head down on the floor. My tears ran down my face as Storm wiped them dry.
Amazing to say Storm and Ucac were always teasing each other. Especially the way Ucac fought with her. The loyalty and devotion Storm had was proven it when she realized that Ucac needed help and companion for her last moments here with us.
Ucac, we will miss you, always. Nikko Von Rottie SR. Bambie Von Zasha and your cat Albi will be waiting for you at the open gate of heaven.
