I was a stubborn little guy and was very naughty for most of my life. I didn’t like being left alone in the house, I always wanted to have company around and whenever they would leave me alone I would punish my family by peeing wherever I wanted. My favorite place was around mummy’s bed. I knew that what I was doing was wrong but they knew what would happen if they would leave me alone. After multiple tries my mummy gave up on trying to stop me behaving like this cause she knew that I would not change, so she has used a lot of chlorine all these years. She covered her bed with plastic and whenever they would leave alone they put to the one room that I would do the least damage. It wasn’t my entire fault that I did all these. It was a combination of things my mummy had a share too. When I came into my mummy’s house I was only 40 days old and my mummy was 14 years old. She knew nothing about dog training and neither any other member of her family. She showed me where I had to go for potty and I had understood that doing my business in the house was a bad thing to do, I wasn’t stupid you know!!! But my mummy’s inexperience and my stubbornness was a lethal combination and catastrophic for my training and the furniture. When I was 8 years old my Vet told my mummy that I serious heart disease and that I would have to go under medication or else I would die. My mummy got really really upset and she cried for days. Just the thought of loosing me devastated her. One of the pills that I was taking was forcing me to pee more often. You know what that meant, more chlorine for mummy, but she didn’t mind any more cause the only thing that she ever wanted was for me to be happy and to get better. For the next seven years my mummy did the best she could to keep me healthy. One month before my 15th birthday I wasn’t feeling well, I was coughing and I couldn’t breathe well. My mummy saw that I wasn’t feeling well and she had planed to take me to my Vet that afternoon. At one moment my mummy went outside to the balcony and I followed her and then I collapsed. I fell on the ground and I stopped breathing. My mummy panicked and started screaming for her mummy to come and help her. One minute later I started getting my consciousness back, by that time we were in the car and were going to the Vet. My mummy was in shock and her mummy was trying to calm her down. They knew that this day would come but they were hoping that it wouldn’t. They were hopping that they would wake up one morning and that I would be a puppy again, but those are just dreams and can never become a reality. The Vet wanted to put me to sleep immediately but when he saw that my mummy would not stop crying he told her that we would try a different medication and that they would try to keep me alive a little bit longer. They took me back home and the following days I had my ups and my downs. For three weeks my mummy was sleeping on the couch right next to me because I couldn’t get on and off the bed without help. Every other day I was losing my consciousness and my mummy was experiencing the lose worse each time. We were at the Vet every day sometimes twice, my mummy was on the phone with the Vet every couple hours of the day and finally on the 26th of October I was in the worst shape ever, the medication wasn’t helping me any more and I had so much fluid in my lungs that it was impossible for me to breathe. That day I lost my consciousness three times and my mummy brought me back. She called the Vet and told her to take me there immediately. She took me to the vet and he told her that it was time. She sat right next to me and she petting me, telling me how much she loves me, how much she will miss me, and then…….. I fell asleep. The Rainbow Bridge was waiting for me. My mummy still cries every day and even though she still has my sisters (Koukla and Beba) to keep her company she still has hard time coping with my death.Rainbow Bridge
The Rainbow Bridge awaits – my friend,
The journey’s not too far,
A shaft of moonshine lights your path,
To guide you there’s a star,
Your friends are there to welcome you,
You’ll meet old pals again,
They’re waiting at ‘The Bridge’ my friend,
Calling out your name,
Don’t be afraid – you’ll be quite safe,
You cannot lose your way,
For many souls have trod this path,
As each is called away,
Go join the hounds at Rainbow Bridge,
Forever running free,
And though this earth you’ve left behind,
Your spirit’s here with me.
