There are so many poignant memorials posted for loved doggies and I am sure most people just look at the pics and don’t read them. That’s ok. This is my therapy, having just lost my only family. Izzy Puppy was adopted from this wonderful organization ten years ago. Izzy was the unfortunate victim recently of bad spinal surgery and horrible Cushings disease which ravaged her muscles. Please, please do not be fooled by a well known clinic that boasts the most board certified vets and mercilessly overcharges you. Rely on your local qualified clinic and, if you need advanced care, seek the help of Texas A&M Vet School.
After adoption, Izzy Puppy quickly attached herself to me, and we had a rewarding fun life together. She always shielded me from those dangerous joggers and bikers. And God forbid you were a maintenance or repairman entering our condo. She had to had the last bark after they left. But that was her protective side. She was the sweetest, most loving puppy I have ever been around.
I will miss giving her tummy rubs. I will miss her snuggling next to me in the morning while burying herself in her special blankie. I will miss her sprinting down the hallway early in her life and walking up her puppy stairs ramp to procure popcorn from me during football games. I will miss her grooming me and licking my legs for a hour after a shower. Who knew I was still dirty. I will miss her retrieving and playing with her main toy. I will miss her caring nature, looking after me when I was sick, sticking close to me as I coughed like it was my last breath. I will miss her beautiful face, initially black with those gorgeous eyes. Later we looked alike with a gray face and beard. I will miss her a lot. She was my daughter, my only family.
May she find happiness in Rainbow Bridge, meet old and new friends, and get lots of dog cookies. Her last treats were strawberries and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, the latter now my favorite frozen treat. I will see her again, definitely when we are both scattered on the beach of the gulf coast. Goodbye my sweet girl. Your daddy loves you.
