My Baby Girl...Allie

by Su Ann Primeaux

I have no poem to write. This is a just a story about a remarkable little dog that I came to love very deeply. Her name was Allie Angel. And an Angel she was. I adopted her in the 2002 right before the Easter holidays. She was not feeling well on Good Friday and there was no vet's open for me to take her to. I stayed up with her the night to make sure that she was all right. A small price to pay. I took her to the vet bright and early the next morning. Well come to find out she had Parvo. I was sick. I did not want to lose her. Well we pulled her though. I went everyday and sat with her in the ICU at the vet hospital and talked to her and told her how much I loved her. And I also told her that if it was time for her to cross over the Rainbow Bridge that I would understand. But we pulled her through. She was a wonderful dog. When I got her she was just a fur ball. Then one day I looked at her and her legs had gotten longer and she was beginning to lose the puppy look. She was beautiful. Inside and out. She was part Catahoula Cur and part Austrilian Shepard. She was beautiful. I loved her so very much. She loved to play with her dog sisters and her cat brothers and sisters. She never got cross with them. She love stuffed animals. We called them her "Babies". Oh she loved to get a new baby. She would squeak it until I had to tell her to stop, she was driving everyone crazy. Then she would take it under the bed and continue to squeak it. I guess she thought we could not hear it!!! She loved people. Never meet a stranger. But I know that someone tried to hurt us she would have protected us. My Nannie passed away on December 7,2004. Allie got sick the next week. I took her to the vet. The kept her and ran some test. Thought that it was an infection. But she just never got better. They sent her to another vet and he did surgery and found out that she had a tumor on her spleen the size of an orange. I knew then that I was going to lose her. But I kept praying that maybe it had not spread. Yesterday,1/6/05 I got a call from the vet and the news was not good. It had spread all over. I couldn't stop crying. I loved my Baby so much. I knew I had to let her go. I couldn't stand to see her suffer. This morning 1/7/05 I took her to the vet to have her put to sleep. I held her in my arms and told her how very much I loved her and how much joy she had brought to my life and that I would never ever forget her. She went so peacefully. We were looking in each other eyes and then she was gone. I stayed with her for awhile.My vet stayed with me. He was so kind.There will never be another Allie. I loved my Baby from day one and I will continue to love her with all my heart. Please take care of your babies that you still have. Love them like there is no tomorrow. And always tell them how much you love them while they are still here before it is too late. I told Allie and the rest of my babies how much I love them every day. Allie knew that she was loved and I know that she loved me back. My sweet baby girl Allie is in a better place tonight. She is running around and playing with all the other little animals. I hope that she is not sad. I hope that she has all the love and happiness there that she had here. Thank you so much for listening to me. May God bless you and all your Babies...here and those that have crossed over the RainBow Bridge.
