My Diva
I rescued her from being put to sleep when her owners were going to move and couldn't take her. I knew her time might be short; she was already 11 years old, but I knew she had good years left. She had been left in a yard and had food dumped in for so long; she didn't know what to think when I welcomed her into my house and onto my furniture. It didn't take her long to love it! She began to walk with her head held high and she could look you in the face again. This is what life was meant to be! For almost 4 years she was my baby and best friend. When I found out that she had cancer I was crushed. The vet said she only had a couple of weeks and that we could put her down if I wanted. I took her home to think about what to do. I called the vet and said that as long as she was happy I would not put her down. She warned me of what the end would be like and that it would be very soon. I thanked her and set about enjoying what time I had left. A year later we were still enjoying each other! The vet and nurses continued to be amazed and help me care for my Diva. Several months later she had a seizure, which happened from time to time, but this was different she couldn't come out of it. I stayed by her all night trying to comfort her, but it was no use. I knew what was happening. I called the vet who was kind enough to come to my house. We knew her time had come. I lay beside her and held her in my arms, talking to her as she slipped away. I have never known such a true love and I will always miss her.--
