Hello I like to share something with anyone who has a pet or has plans on getting on 12 and 1/2 years ago my daughter had turned 8 years old and she wanted a dog So we went to a human Society and picked out this 6 week old German shepard Rotty mix She was beautiful She was taking because the people who owned her parents had been abusing there animals I did not fall in love with her at 1st I fealt it was so much work being a single parent having 2 kids full time now a dog As time past I am glad to admit she became my best friend She went every where with me She has slept in my room for that 12 and 1/s years She would get mad at me and you would know because of the way she turned her head moved her ears 7 years ago she had a hip issue and could not walk I took her to my local vet and they told me I would have to put her down because there was no fix and that she would never walk again After doing some resaerch and talking to some friends and happen to have one that his dad was a vet as well I took her for a 3 hour drive to a specialist and they knew rate away what she had I was there for 20 minutes walked out with some meds and 3 days later she was walking Now lets fast forward a year ago She started having issues getting up so I would help her every timne she needed to get up I put off taking her to my local vet because of how I fealt and for over a year I helped her no matter what she needed 6 Months ago she started going to the bathroom in my house daily I was getting annoyed but did not want to loose her so I avoided the vet yet again Her hips were loosing all the muscle but she never complained When she would go to the bathroom in my house she would give me this look like she was disappointed in herself At times I did get annoyed On Tuesday July 1st I took her to the vet well I had my wife do it because I was to chicken That same doctor listened to what my wife said and he said she should be put down With a heavy heavy heart I decided it was time.. Almost a week later and I am living with so many regrets and pain I cant sleep I feel alone I feel like I failed her I feel like I should have done more She never asked anything of me but love and food and water She was known in my small local town as my wife because she spent so much time with me She never bit anyone and loved everyone She was a 140 ib baby I miss her with every bone muscle and blood cell in my body I am so lost with out her I was not a pet owner I was a pet lover She was not a pet to me she was not a dog to me She was a part of my life my best friend my family my child She knew me as Papa and would not know me any other way I would give anything to have anouther day with her so I could explain to her why I did what I did I feel she is mad at me and the pain I feel is awful I have cryed every day The point to this is if you are a pet owner or plan on getting a pet Remember this They may not be human but will treat you better then any human They do not judge you they love you no matter what Do not get a pet as a status because they may have fur they may have a label PET but if you give them a chance you will find the love they give you is so valuable This world is unfair and cruel Humans ccan live over a 100 while a pet if they live 12 and 1/2 years it is considered a good life Do not get a pet unless your willing to know they need you but you will be rewarded If you do not have time for them dont do it If you do not want to give them 110% dont get one I would give anything to have her back because she is that important to me I see the family members in my house and how hurt they are and it has not let up She is my Baby Girl as I called her that every day I miss you Queenie and I hope this story helps even if just one person bond with there friend because Baby Girl you was not my pet and I was not your owner you was and always will be my best friend part of my family I miss you so very much I wish this pain and regret would ease but I dont see that happening R.I.P Baby Girl 01/01/2002 07/01/2014 Your forever in my heart Papa is so sorry Love Papa
