Hi, my name is Gabriela Anez and I am originally from Venezuela. IN 1995 one of the most amazing things happened to me, I got the best gift from my ex-boyfriend...a little puppy. I named him Puppy Eduardo, the word Puppy doesn't mean a lot in Spanish and it sounded cute! He was the center of our lives (my mom, sister and aunt) and the only boy in the family (believe me, he knew he was the dominant one.) He was a "hairy little human", he was smart, kind and jaleous of our boyfriends - no wonder we were having problems keeping one! We never talked to him as an animal, we treated him like a little person and in response he behave like one. I was transferred to the US in 2003 and my mom said: I am going to miss you so much, I love you...and by the way, PUPPY WILL STAY! My sister, my mom and my aunt used to tell stories about him to me on the phone when I had a bad day or I felt lonely. My nieces loved him and knew not to get any place near my mom's side of the bed or shoes, he was a very loyal guardian. My sister used to lie about his age, she hated when people started saying he was getting old and his life was close to an end. She also took the title of his "mommy" without my permission!!! I haven't been in my country since November 2003, I remember I left my mom's house, held Puppy and promised I will see him soon. Last Wednesday (4/11/2007) my baby left us and I cannot even begin to explain the pain in my heart, the emptiness in my stomach, the sadness is just unexplicable. I wanted to find a site where I could share my experience with people that would understand. I feel guilty, I was the only one that was not there with him, I left him there and I couldn't hug him anymore. I am suffering so much, I need help! I miss him. You can meet my baby going here:
