My sweet "Tink" passed away during the night. She was 13 years old and we knew it was coming, have had her in my lap the last few days holding her as much as possible. Just wanted to share her story.
Few years ago, I went in to work, mind you that was Petsmart, and the adoption people were coming in setting up for the weekend. On of the ladies had a small pink bundle in her arms and was telling our head manager that it was such a shame they would have to put her to sleep. She opened the blanket and I saw the most beautiful face peek out at me.
She had been found locked in a house for over 2 weeks with the body of the woman who owned her. She had starved and dehydrated to the point her kidneys had shut down practically she had gone blind and she was almost comatose. They had to force feed her with a syringe and she responded to no one.
Tears filled my eyes and my heart exploded, I walked over to her, gently took her from her arms and told her she has a home now.
She told me all her problems and how hard it would be, I said I dont care, she will spend the last of her life no matter how short in the arms of someone who loved her.
She opened her eyes and "SAW" me, she acknowledged me, and snuggled in! I spent the next 2 weeks hand feeding her and administrating medications for her system functions.
Thats all she needed! She came back on her own.. she began to run around the house, bossing around the cats and other animals and eating on her own. She became a normal happy dog! Horribly spoiled mind you..lol I bought her fluffy pink beds and blankets and clothes and she went everywhere with me.
A couple days ago, I knew it was coming. She stops running and started sleeping non-stop, I had to revert to the syringe for her water and she refused food. I hugged her and told her I loved her and it was ok, Im glad she came to me and I would never forget her. If she wanted to go, I would be ok. I got to love her for 2 years!
Im crying my eyes out writing this, she is wrapped in her velvet blanket now and will be buried this morning.
Thank you for listening to me go one.. I just needed to share how special she was.
