My Dear Sweet Nala
In 1996 I got Nala when she was 9 weeks old. She was a great puppy and I took her every where with me. Her first home was my college dorm! She would ride in and outside in my backpack. She was truly my best friend. She knew me better than anyone. In her 10 short years she was constantly by my side. We moved from Montana to Las Vegas after college life. There I married and became a full time stepmom to two. Nala, as always, took it in stride. In December, 2005 I had my first child. She loved our baby. Always looking over him and loving his meal times! It became a game to drop the cherrios to Nala. Her big brown eyes made everyone who came into contact with her fall in love instantly. She was loved by her Vets, her groomer, and all of my family. She was our family. On September 25th, 2006 Nala lost her battle to a terminal illness. We fought like crazy to save her. As he lay dying in my bedroom, she was concerned about me being so upset. She actually got up and put her head in my lap and looked at me telling me not to cry. Even in her last moments of life she was worried about me. That was my baby. I miss her so terribly. My dear Sweet Nala, I can't wait until we can be together again. I love you! --
